Stan Adams Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Interesting in that Bar-Brook was the badge & name on the very early models, then Brookline, then apparently back to the Bar-Brook name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) The answers to this line of circulators as one, or separate entities could more than likely be found in past directories and old newspaper. Google book full reads cut off now around 24. Access to old newspaper on the web is for most part not free. Archive.org which is free has not been very helpful either getting back to the early days of these line of circulators.

If anyone's looking deeply into this, I suspect the Shreveport Engineering Co. would be where to look.....

Russ Huber Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 There is a transformer bolted to the back of the motor definitely original to the fan with what appears to be wound to give the fan 3 speeds. My example was rewired inside and has a porcelain pull chain ceiling switch mounted inside wired that gives it two speeds of high and medium/low. Anyone have one of these apart and see a multi-circuit levolier in theirs? Or, does yours have a porcelain pull chain switch? The center top threading on the switch allows the switch to be mounted inside the housing perfectly for the pull chain guide to protrude out the housing hole. My gut instincts still tell me the switch was originally a 3 speed levolier. Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Adams Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hey Russ, yours is evidently a much newer model than mine. Mine are all single speed with a pull chain switch & no choke. The rear bullet back on mine does not have space for a choke coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
