Late fall/early winter was the start of dynamo/motor manufacture.

I wonder how they walked
around in that shop.

An OSHA inspector
would've had a heyday
there!

Rib base desk fan castings on the floor. 1903 was the introduction of their 360 degree revolver.

I am amazed how long Fidelity fans stayed on the map. The early ones starting in 1901 under the Towle name and Fidelity named models as well would have required roughly 1/2 a can of bondo to fill in the casting craters.
