    That's an amazing and ingenious guard design, short loops connecting inner and outer rings by tension and compression, the center ring without a splice

                                 Now what about the same question regarding inner and outer rings?

Heinze ball pivot does not have the cut out notch for bracket feature.

Heinze pumped out 3 assigned patents in succession to the 92 concern. I see an Elliott O. Johnson as their general agent in 93 with mention of Heinze meters, fan motors, etc.

Off subject a tad, but it appears Tideman like ripping off component ideas from other fan manufacturers. Henry especially like the Holtzer-Cabot fan motors.

Johnson is mentioned in the 3/25/1893 Electrical World as a GENERAL SELLING AGENT for the Heinze Electric Co.  I don't "so far" see Heinze Electric Co. product marketed elsewhere in electrical trade. My bet is if a Heinze fan motor surfaced, or is to surface, it would be on the upper east coast. 

Being they incorporated at 10K capital I think it would be safe to assume the fan motors were not manufactured in abundance.

It appears John Heinze WAS involved in the management of the Heinze Electric Co.   Heinze Electric is mentioned in the 94 directory under electrical instruments, however, not under fan motors.

        I was ready to drop this inquiry after checking out the library yesterday... To nicely muddy the waters, John O. Heinze is a father/son team, as the (Jr.) implies, and I suspect that father was more involved in organizing (or financing?) the business. [I'll show later that it seems young Heinze is the one who serves as a company officer though...]

   Junior was born roughly 1873, and was a young man when the first patent applications were filed, and I suspect that Lynn MA shoe fortunes would have supported the young man's electrical ideas, and not his business acumen, but he must have been truly precocious...   I tried tracing directory listings with reasonable success post-Lynn, but didn't perhaps pursue as diligently as I should have pre-Lynn, and I'll make another effort, considering the clues you've unearthed, Russ...

   I found them in Lynn 1893, 94, 96.  Not located in the '92 directory, so I searched no further back, since by then I knew that they started out in Newark as of 1880, father John O(possibly Otto) listed as a machinist in the census, and John Jr. as a 7-year-old student.

   In some listings, junior is clearly labeled as such, and those I can relate with confidence. Interestingly though, in 1894 it is junior who is listed as president of Heinze Electric Co., and in 1893 he was manager, so my second sentence of this Post might be utter rubbish... Though Russ' excerpt of "Heinze & Son" is yet another twist?

   Still now, what most caught my interest is the novel cage construction, and I'd be pleased if we can learn more about the fans themselves. Considering the Heinze impact, in whatever locale they situated themselves, it's worth giving it another shot, and I'll try once again to go back to the years of greatest interest... when time permits.

   By 1899 they are both clearly listed elsewhere. Even as early as 1896, they appear to be listed in Lynn with outside interests, meaning that while living at 32 Houghton in Lynn, John Sr. has Boston in parentheses while Junior has Peabody in parentheses, signifying business location, that last item consistent possibly with his Standard Thermometer connection. In 1899 they both reside in Revere MA (between Lynn and Boston) and are listed as electricians, while a "John O. Heinze" also has a listing at 10 Franklin St., Cambridge, as an electrical designer, and I'll assume this to be junior.

   Lowell has already been posted, but there also was an effort in Boston, listed 1902 and persisting in various journals for several years, known as Oelling & Heinze, x-ray apparatus. To confirm the identity and connection, the 1903 Boston Directory lists Heinze Electric Co., x-ray apparatus (and John O. Heinze as gen. mgr., which John O.?) and to further complicate the story, in Boston 1905 John O. Heinze is listed as a camera repairer... Once again, I'm taking the liberty of assuming that this individual is Senior, but I don't know, and little care at this point...

   Lowell MA listings continue until 1913's with Junior "removed to Detroit", where he had previous listings as that branch of the business was developed, and by now we're well outside the domain of fan research, so it's time to rein in and concentrate on the period of their first offering electrical gear...

   There are more citations for Elliott O. Johnson, but I found nothing helpful to learning about the fans...

     The buildings in Lynn and Lowell no longer are standing.....

My mention of Elliott Johnson only pertains in a separate 93 article it speaks of him taking a new office address and the general sales of Heinze product including their fan motors. I didn't copy the article and post it due to the poor clarity of the small wording.

Not sure if Standard Thermometer Co. acted as another agency for the Heinze fan motor. I get more the impression they gained rights to manufacturing it, I don't know for fact. What is for fact is they were off the grid in 98. 

I am more focused on the Heinze fan motor's longevity on the market. It appears to be 92-98. 

If Heinze would have designed the motor for higher voltage it would have upped the chances someone might own one.

3.5 amps? Kinda expensive to run back then on circuit.

What a wonderful and educational post from all of you.   Solid research on a fan I did not know existed.  Thank you for running this post for all of us.

Here is some more to add to the complexity of the world of Mr. John O. Heinze Jr.  Can't say much for the design efficiency of his 3.5 amp draw 52-volt 13" AC/DC fan motor, but gotta love his boot blackening machine.

Drawing 3.5 amps with
52 volts applied,...

the input power is...
52V × 3.5A = 182 Watts.

 

Screenshot_20231022-094228_Chrome.thumb.jpg.4ffcfa2074020e7f246701fa7fd72739.jpg

HP to Watts is...
0.125 × 746 = 93.2 Watts.

"High efficiency"...
       Really?  wondering.gif.bdb294e6f2aca1d867148397347c3201.gif

182 W₍ᵢₙ₎...
     and only 93.2 W₍ₒᵤₜ₎...

≈ 50% efficiency...

Where's the missing
      88.8 watts of power?

It would be nice to see how Heinze designed the fan motor.
