1933 Chicago World's Fair CEILING FAN!


Recommended Posts

Posted

The ceiling fan blade is marked with the letter "A"

The table fan blades are marked with the letter "B"

I have looked at the brochure that says there was an exhaust fan so I assume there will be a "C" on that blade... Just guessing...

   Why guess?

The Morse patent shows three different arm/blade alignments, denoted "Form R", "Form A", and "Form C".

 

 

                     also

 

"You'd be looking for cat. no. 55x162, as posted by Mike Petree above. 

 The radial table fan model is no. 55x161.

 No. 55x163 is a ceiling fan pushing air outward more than downward..."

                          to again show that there were variations on the theme.....

 

 

 

                No one has yet commented on this variation (if I'm seeing correctly)

                                     It's been right there for viewing all this year

This is a prime example of what the value of accessing the old website for archived information and images in its present state using key words in the search engine offers. The old website has been currently available. It will be such a shame when it permanently goes down.

My ceiling fan blows straight down vertically NOTHING to the sides!

If that is Paul's ceiling fan it blows straight down too! NOT to the sides at all!

I had mine running at the fanimation event! Anyone who witnessed it running, I went out of my way to show that it blows straight down and nothing to the sides!
