The cab air conditioner was moved from the left (conductor's) side walkway to a position under the cab floor to make space for the six traction inverters (one per axle) that supply the AC.
Now for one of the more popular GE pancakes, below, the fully ribbed base 1903 trunnion model. This year the models started out with a fully ribbed base, cast hub blade, and 10 wire cage. Later 1903 models introduced the partially ribbed base, stamped hub blade, and 8 wire cage with three cage struts and with a slightly modified cage badge but it is the former, earlier style that is the more desired among collectors. In addition to the trunnion model a 'stick' version was also made in most years of pancake production. This version of the GE cage badge was used on the 10 wire cages from 1899 and about halfway through 1903 when the 8 wire cage was introduced.
The stickmount has the appearance of the earlier ten inch fans, with the smooth base which becomes taller to accommodate the 12 inch blade. The trunnion mount carries the same look as it's earlier counterparts, except for the thinner motor housing, switch to a four wing blade, a new brass motor tag, and as mentioned, the grease cup. The GE badge makes it's appearance too.

The nickeled brass motor band has also been slipped off the iron core around the stator. Like most pancakes this one is a four pole motor. Six, eight, and ten pole pancake motors were made for other frequencies or for special slower running motors. Above: You can see the porcelain 2 speed rotary snap switch in the center surrounded by the regulator coil which allows for two speeds. Beginning with the 1902 models a new 5 speed switch and 5 speed regulator coil were used but they look almost identical. At the bottom of the photo you can see how the two rear motor terminals where you connect power to the fan hook up to the switch. New regulator coils are being made by a company named Sartron but original switches are very hard to find.
It's fully brown minus of course the brass cage, blades and fittings. It has those fastener things you wrote of on the front and back of the motor. It has cream coloured hand-painted sparse pin striping around the base, the motor and the rear and front of the motor vents where it almost looks like a flower. I'd love to know exactly what it is and it's value (fixed or not).

Offline Hi Richard, Your fan would be from 1930, possibly from 1931 also and is the first GE model like that with aluminum blades replacing the previous brass blades up through 1929. The FORM is what is used to date GE fans if the Form letter is present on the tag. AOU is the type that many know the fan model by, 75423 is GE's12' oscillator model which was made since the early teens. The other numbers are not that meaningful for most collectors so probably don't worry about them. GE loop handle AOU fans are common but good fans. Not a high dollar fan but, since you have had it for so long, it has to be priceless.
Very early models still used the plain brass motor tag which was soon changed to a smaller etched brass tag with a black oxidized background. The tags for 1904 are marked 'FORM D' and would be the last GE motor tags until the mid-teens to have a FORM letter. The regulator coil was held in place as for the 1903 models but the clips changed from brass to steel as shown below. The porcelain switch now had mounting ears on it. The very bottom rim of the base is much narrower than on the 1903 fully ribbed base models. 1905 models look nearly identical to the previous year's pancakes.
The 1903 has the unpolished brass clips to hold the coil in place, the 1904 uses painted steel clips, and the 1905, with its new cardboard molded cover, uses a new cone shaped clamp piece on both sides of the coil. This particular fan has a black painted brass cone but I have seen cone clamps made of steel. Such a clamp is on a fully ribbed 1903 pancake I have but I suspect that it may have been a modification years ago. The clamps are interchangeable among the different years of base switch pancakes. 1906 models introduced a new, completely smooth base without the previous ribbing, new steel struts replacing the old brass struts although brass struts were used on earlier 1906 models, and a new single iron thumbscrew to lock in the tilt position on the trunnion models. The two brass wing bolts used previously were eliminated and the trunnion was supported by two brass large head screws. The motor remained as the late 1903 through the 1905 models until late in the model year when it may have been changed to the design used in 1907.
Hindi movie heroine full movie. This fan has a blade span of 16'. Take a look inside the motor housing.
This is a closer view of the front of the heater. Notice the finish. I'd like to know how this finish was applied. I'm guessing it was done chemically or with heat. This is a smooth texture but there are areas that are 'hammered' on the heater.
This is the motor tag. Most of these examples have a regular Hamilton Beach motor tag. This example was made and sold to Western Electric for them to market. This is a nice original example of an ornate tab base Diehl Universal 12' fan. It retains it's original black japan finish as well as gold pinstripping and switch lettering. This is exactly how I found it.
1896 models brought a new look to the GE pancake as well as the introduction of direct current (DC) motor pancakes which I will not cover at this time. A new trunnion frame (below) was introduced which allowed the motor to tilt up and down. This trunnion pancake carried a 12' fan, ran on only a single speed, and had no switch; you plugged it in when you wanted to run the fan. The 10' model solid frame from 1895 was continued for 1896.
