So, why is it that when I'm out fan hunting, I come across at least 5000 Zeros to every one Tank? Karma?,... prob'ly. 1 Quote

To me, Zeros, Eskimos etc. are like when I'm walking around the neighborhood and incidentally see a dog turd near or on the sidewalk. I just steer clear of it and keep on walking. Quote
Michael Bouthiller Posted November 5, 2024 Author Posted November 5, 2024 Are Westinghouse tank fans rare with intact speed numbers Quote
Michael Bouthiller Posted November 6, 2024 Author Posted November 6, 2024 Here’s a video of my Westinghouse tank running on a variac on 104v 75260795298__391321B3-CDED-4274-92D7-D8434DF758C4.mov Quote
Michael Bouthiller Posted November 9, 2024 Author Posted November 9, 2024 Did they make a 16 inch 104v Westinghouse tank fan in 1905? Quote

Steve Rockwell may have the documentation to support it, and he may not? By the way, Chris & Steve thanks for validating the OFF-position lettering. I have/had a number of tanks and not one supported it. Edited November 9, 2024 by Russ Huber Quote
Jim Henderson Posted November 10, 2024 Posted November 10, 2024 OFF is right where you would drag your finger across in order to start the fan. Very few survived. Quote
Chris Campbell Posted November 10, 2024 Posted November 10, 2024 (edited) Close to GE. O is more rounded. Almost close enough to not design a new stencil for only Westinghouse. Edited November 10, 2024 by Chris Campbell Quote
Russ Huber Posted November 10, 2024 Posted November 10, 2024 (edited) I talked to Steveo Stephens today. He has a couple (plural) Westy tanks with the factory OFF lettering. How does he rate? 🙂 Edited November 10, 2024 by Russ Huber Quote

Michael Bouthiller Posted December 26, 2024 Author Posted December 26, 2024 Update I got a 16 inch tank and I’m putting a new cord on it and I’m planning on putting a yellow twisted cord on and what gauge is the wire Quote
Lane Shirey Posted December 26, 2024 Posted December 26, 2024 I have 2 with remnants of the off label, but in both cases they appear to be a gold ink stamp rather than a proper decal. That would explain why they rubbed off easily. Quote
Steve Rockwell Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 What I see for 1905 is 110-Volt, and what I see for 1906 is 104-Volt, F Wever I W... Quote
Russ Huber Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 Westinghouse made a major oversight with that 05-trunnion casting. 🙂 Quote
