Good afternoon and happy Fourth, friends. I am finishing up the restoration on a 1922 AOU. The wiring coming out of the motor is a four wire cord. They only utilize two of them in the wiring. I just want to make sure I don’t destroy the fan putting it back together. Is this the way it came from the factory or has someone opened this one previously? Also, if the two wires are acceptable, does it matter which two wires? I am not an electrician, so I do not want to fry myself.

Sometimes they used 4 wire headwire and cut the one's not needed.   They also used 4 wire headwire and utilized all 4.

Does the switch have a coil?    If not then all 4 wires are used.

If it does have a coil then your good.

2 wires should work fine.
