Anthony Lindsey Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Header says Queen Elizabeth but the body says Queen Mary. and...... it's a 220v fan so unless those ships are running 220v I highly suspect either. buyer beware....... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Lindsey Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Oops. could be incorrect. Says Royal Navy Ships went to 220v in 1905. https://books.google.com/books?id=d1kgDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA164&lpg=PA164&dq=what+electrical+volts+did+british+steam+ships+use&source=bl&ots=EYZbP1oYo1&sig=ACfU3U3U0o9PdFVE2b8mw4tEb9iOGOj5hw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj4herwhdv2AhUMZzABHXFWA94Q6AF6BAguEAM#v=onepage&q=what electrical volts did british steam ships use&f=false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David A Cherry Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 I didn’t know also I should’ve probably put it on buy sell trade I wasn’t thinking just letting people know it’s coming up and they can decide.. Looks like the tag is missing so that’s a problem for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Fisher Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 The motor tag is missing on that fan. It should be round in shape and have the same information as the base tag. The blade on my fan is only 8 inches so they may have had fans on the ship with larger blades because the fan paint color looks authentic and speed control information looks to be correct for a ship fan.

Terry Fisher Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Good point Anthony . . . . Don't know why all fans on this ship would not have been the same voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry...not all of them had the motor tag on the bottom of the motor? Edited March 24, 2022 by Louis Luu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the motor tag, there is only two rivet holes on each sides. I have both...one with tag and one without the rivet holes. Heck, there is even a Veritys with a tag I have never seen before...two motor tags on a motor. Edited March 24, 2022 by Louis Luu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Fisher Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Look at the pictures shown in the auction link. One picture shows the bottom of the fan motor. There is one large hole and two small holes on each side of the large hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Luu Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Yeah...I never understood the purpose of the center large hole. It appears in other models as well. There are some without the holes. That issue has never been resolved. If you look at some of the GEC...there is a large hole on the base stem and others don't have this. I would guess...for mounting on a pole?...Ceiling mounting? Edited March 24, 2022 by Louis Luu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
