A brief look at an uncommon 1915 Westinghouse 12" desk fan. It utilizes an universal motor, meaning it has carbon brushes and a commutator. They definitely need some attention as the fan doesn't sound too healthy when running. I'm guessing the worn brushes need to be replaced and re-seated. This fan is designed to run on 25Hz, a long abandoned frequency, so it runs slower on the 60Hz frequency used today in North America (I failed to make this connection while I was filming, hence the mention of it running slow and not knowing why). The original paint is in great shape and should shine up nicely. Thanks for watching!
Filmed in October 2021.
