Thank you for doing this.  It was interesting and I learned how little I knew about some of these older and rarer fans.   Cool posts.

This motor was posted in the flesh on the old forum not that long ago. It is made by a manufacturer you all are very familiar with.

     Thank you, Mel; coming up with some fresh and novel background and information on these early fan developers has been an education for me as well. And to Russ, Jim and Steve for participating...

 

       I'd better bring this one to a conclusion and call it a day.

 

     The photo is dated 19 May 1893.

 

     No. 18 is another offering from the versatile Philip Diehl, whose impact I think is under-appreciated, if not neglected entirely in the annals... Imagine being the inventive manager for an establishment the size of Singer, and acquiring the position through talent, beginning in hardscrabble days in Chicago... He must have been quite an individual.....
