What is the difference between the large and small knobs


Recommended Posts

Posted

I picked up a GE pancake fan at the Harrison meet this week end. The indicator is missing but the knob on it does not go down far enough to lock the indicator in. I am thinking someone put a large knob on where a small one should go. Or is there some kind of spacer that goes in between the large knob and indicator.

There were two sizes of knobs. I think pre 1900 had smaller knobs. Kim Frank would know.

If it uses the pointer, then the large knob is correct. There is a spacer that goes between the knob and pointer.

Is it back switched or base switched? If back switched, is it 2 speed or five speed. Pictures show a base switch 5 speed with large knob and indicator, a back switched 1902 5 speed with large knob and indicator, and a 1901 back switched 2 speed with small knob. It didn't use an indicator pointer.
