THE CARLETON "OSCILLATING" FAN MOTOR ALONE MAINTAINED THE EARLIER HINGE PIVOT FOR THE 1918+ FAN MOTOR SEASONS. CARLETON EFFECTIVE 1918 HAS IMPLEMENTED A NEW "BALL & SOCKET" FAN MOTOR PIVOT TO REPLACE THE HINGE JOINT ON ALL THEIR STATIONARY FANS .

Electrical Record trade journal supports 1919 as the last year for Carleton alternating and direct current circuit deak fans. If you find a alternating or direct current Carleton desk fan with the BALL & SOCKET fan motor pivot......it dates 1918-19. I can trace Carleton battery fans with the BALL & SOCKET fan motor pivot 1918-22..+(?) Last edited on Mon Aug 15th, 2016 08:29 pm by Russ Huber |

I have made a correction......I misinterpreted the article for 18. Carleton "oscillating" fan motors were NOT discontinued in 18. For the 18 fan motor season all "STATIONARY" Carleton desk fans sported the NEW "ball & socket" pivot feature. The "OSCILLATING" Carleton fan motor maintained the HINGE pivot feature of past.

In think they also sold a fan under the "Liberty" name.

I witnessed as late as 19, and as early as 15 on the AC or DC circuit offerings the trademark........................."Dervish". Anyone with "Dervish" on the motor tag?

Regarding the blade sizes in post #2; I wonder why they bothered with the upsize from 8" to 8 5/8"? A head scratcher for me...
