You can list the info in a post to this thread, send it to me in a pm, or email it to me at. Hopefully, over time and with all of your help, we can put together a very comprehensive guide for these fans. So the question is.were fans after 324460 190/220v ? How about 16 inch fans of the same vintage.did they follow any pattern? Both of these fans are 190/220v 60 cycle.
Then I have same model with serial number 324463 and another with a bit later number of 324658.
For example, were serial numbers issued in batches for fan models, based on voltages/cycles or styles? I have 1908 model 12" trunnions with serial numbers 324457. I believe this will give us a better picture of how and when the fans were produced. Wing bolts or shoulder screws holding motor to trunnion? Also included would be the roundball motored d/c fans produced during the same period.
Is it badged as BTH (British Thomson Huston) or CGE(Canadian General Electric)? What year is the fan? Is it 10", 12", 14", or 16"? Is it a trunnion or stick mount? Desk or Bracket fan? Is it a 4 wing or 6 wing blade? Is the blade hub cast or stamped brass? Is the guard's back ring wrapped or pierced? How many struts? Are they integrated(made as part of) into the cage.
Besides the tag information giving the type and form designation, serial number, voltage, and cycles, I would like to get the characteristics of each fan. Don Eckerson has asked me to take over the 1894 thru 1908 portion of the GE survey. Building on the work of Lawrence Erickson, Prewitt Scripts, and Don, I will ask all of you to list the GE pancake fans in your collection.
