I was cleaning up a set of Century ceiling fan blades this afternoon when I found a small shim on the back of one of the brackets. I guess this is how they balanced the brackets if needed. It is a perfect fit.
Brent also informed me he has documentation to support the Lake Breeze fan patent holder Lloyd D. Freeland as PRESIDENT of the THERMO ENGINE CO.
