Hey, Steve, this one is
really eating at me!

At this point,...
                  I'm stumped!

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.

In a very roundabout and indirect way, this amounts to a hint.....

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.

Wait at least until after you brush your teeth before bedtime.

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?

That is awesome! Thanks so much, Steve. Look how well constructed it is. Little did Wallace Freeman realize the impact of his motor patent.

I gave it my best try.

Good on you, Jeff,...
                      nicely done!

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,...

Or maybe not.  wondering.gif.681403336c07d698f7051885f5214a9f.gif

Prob'ly not.  Thumbup.gif.9d9db93456e7b95074451c2624adae55.gif

But I do appreciate the
challenge.  Was fun.

Thanks, Steve!

Nobody should be ashamed they didn't nail this one without a side and rear view of the fan itself.

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
