Russ Huber Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) This mystery fan appears to date between The Lundell reinforced guard introduction and following fan motors following suit with reinforced guards after turn of century.

Steve Rockwell Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 In a very roundabout and indirect way, this amounts to a hint..... Posted March 29, 2023 On 3/29/2023 at 1:43 PM, John Trier said: Lundell started the beefy guard movement, but there is proof in 95 electrical trade IC was making their own fan guards. Sprague and IC merged in 97 and by 98 Lundell filed patent for a new fan motor design with the beefy guard. It hit the market in 99. GI Paragon beefed their guard for the 00 season, etc. https://new.afcaforum.com/index.php?/topic/4208-peerless-spin-crank-kick-start-cage-ok-so-turns-out-it-is-early-rm-standard-ca-1902-1904/#comment-29718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I couldn't believe Steve had it! That puppy had a short stay on the market. I wonder if he has the Adams fan motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 That is awesome! Thanks so much, Steve. Look how well constructed it is. Little did Wallace Freeman realize the impact of his motor patent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I scanned across electrical trade periodical images of the Falcon fan a few times and just didn't see it. Maybe with more time,... after seeing the cropped pocketed screw boss image... Or maybe not. Prob'ly not. But I do appreciate the challenge. Was fun. Thanks, Steve! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Nobody should be ashamed they didn't nail this one without a side and rear view of the fan itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kovar Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 So,... are any Falcon fans known to exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Denney Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Not to he late to the party but now that the fan is revealed, I had to share this. Another variant of the "dogbone" guard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
