Russ Huber Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I found what remains of a late 40s/50s Dayton circulator fan head off of a pedestal stand. The stand was gone. The 4 wing blade was roughly 20'-24" in diameter. It was styled like the counter-top model seen in the bottom right hand corner of page 6 in the image below. This fan had what appeared to be a 1/6 HP GE motor inside a bullet housing. Here is the killer........there was a heavy duty cast aluminum housing mount that must have contained a gear train to drive a pulley. You have that right; it must have had on the pedestal a belt driven system of oscillation. There was a heavy-duty knurled knob un the underside to engage or disengage the oscillation. I have never seen this before. Has anyone else witnessed this oscillating Dayton circulator? I did not have a camera, nor did I purchase it as I need space, not circulators.

Not many OSCILLATING circulators out there. Now, I've not seen one of those, but neither have I seen this: (Also Dayton): IF anyone has real PICS of either the Dayton Oscillator OR Rolling circulators, please update this post for everyone to see.

Russ Huber Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 I have NEVER until recent saw a pedestal mount circulator fan head with a PULLEY on a shaft coming out of a under the bullet cast aluminum casing that mounts to a pedestal pole flange. The pulley is deep grooved to ride a round or V shaped belt if memory serves me right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken McClead Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I saw this fan on YouTube it looks like it might be a Dayton belt drive pedestal fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movie set fan perhaps? The center "badge" looks like it had the diagonal (early) Dayton logo on it at one time (?) Looks painted all silver or something.

Russ Huber Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 Look at you go! It is a vertical small pulley extending out from under the front of the housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see gentleman, this Dayton has just entered The Twilight Zone 🤔 😵 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Zapf Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I LOVE that huge rollaround circulator like an early drum fan ..that will clear the bugs out of the yard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
