   Here's what I didn't post last night, description not an image...

     From 3 Jan 1891 Electrical Enterprise, posted previously and elicited comment about the word "mote", which made for an easy Old Forum search.....   https://www.afcaforum.com/view_topic.php?id=62244

I saw this early 91 posting of yours previously. Now try to make sense of Shallenberger's brushed AC compatible motor leading into Lange's AC compatible brushed motor. 

Oct. 4, 1890

Shallenberger's, or Lange's motor?

 Owning an authentic Tesla Motor of late 19th century is a feat in itself. Finding one with an authentic blade is even better yet. I may not have found any evidence so far to support Westinghouse placed them on the market, but it appears Westinghouse enjoyed using them in their offices. As to whether or not Tesla took the time away from his research to put blades on his motor designs, the world may never know. 🙂

Two years after the start-up of the Westinghouse Great Barrington, MA plant in 1888 there were about 100 alternating-current installations through-out the US. Shortly after the Westinghouse Electric formation, Westinghouse's AC project engineer Oliver B. Shallenberger worked closely in developing the AC systems with electrical engineer Philip Lange. Philip Lange is also credited with developing much primary apparatus that led towards the perfection of the Tesla Polyphase System, under the tutelage of chief electrician Oliver B. Shallenberger in the late 1880's.

Would it be worth Westinghouse making the effort to go to market the AC only Tesla motor with fan blade 1889-90?

Shallenberger was not intimidated by Tesla, he was sticking to his guns at 133 hertz. Both of them were academically intense, and well respected in the world of Westinghouse.

Of interest.....

 

 

 

 

     Tesla only stayed in Pittsburg a year..... Jul 1888 to Jul 1889

 

 

     I think this is possibly the original article excerpted in The Iron Age:

     And when they got busy developing the A.C. motors, they were most focused on industrial applications.....

 Lol.  With the new to the market AC Tesla motor, why waste the time in electrical trade mentioning and placing the petty Shallenberger's and Lange's(?) brushed universal multi-purpose motor/fan. Compatible with both circuits? I still wonder what Lange actually contributed to his patented fan motor?  Was it actually Shallenberger motor?

 

[Russ Huber]

Westinghouse claims an electric car in 89 using the Tesla motor, or was it 2 Tesla motors? Also, in their March of 89 claim of applying the Tesla motor to a sewing machine treadle another electrical trade article states it the first AC motor sewing assist for the ladies. That may be debatable based on what the boys overseas were doing in the motor world.

That Rockwell guy packs a loaded gun with a high-capacity magazine. Lotsa bullets. 🙂 I would love to see an 89-90 advertisement of the Tesla motor with blade ready to cool your business down. Gotta be something hid away in them there books.

Edited: I am trying to dig up other support of the Tesla motor & fan blade commercially marketed in 89-90 electrical trade. Westinghouse had an exhibit in 90 boasting the Tesla motor and multiple applications (No mention of Tesla motor fan). The only reference they make of a fan motor is Shallenberger's small universal motor (AC/DC compatible) used for fan & utility (sewing) purpose.
