1950s ELECTRIC FANS MADE BY WESTINGHOUSE "A FAN FAMILY ALBUM" 49714

[@manhoot]

I'm a "fan" of these kinds of films

[@fasx56]

Thank you for showing us the history of the electric fan, combining photo images with attractive ladies and the evolution of common household fan. There are dozens of tools and appliances that we use daily and do not give it a passing thought, they all have an interesting history.

I’ve got a 1914 Westinghouse 16 inch oscillating fan, I’ll tell y’all, that thing packs a punch. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.

[@lklpalka]

Love these long ago reminders, thanks. Am I buying a fan or a woman? Don't think I'd like to go back there but it's part of who we are.

[@MariaStoNino]

We have westinghouse electric fan. We still using it until now.

Beauty was certainly different years ago.

I sure wish america still made good quality fans like these. All different brands.

[@Bobbythefanman]

I have a hassock fan branded frigid from the 70s

[@drcmac]

Now there are mist fans...I can even put ice cubes & chilled water from the refrigerator in the slide-in tray.

I have an Emerson version of 12:40. Runs quite well, and I'm sure it will for many more years.

so much sexism ... i love it

[@cfrivas]

Miss. 1948...

[@beatricewhiteburn]

I have a power air 7:14 and it’s a great worker

Westinghouse should’ve stuck to fans. When this film was made in the 50s Westinghouse’s underperforming jet engines were ruining a generation of US naval aircraft like the F7U, F3H, and F4D.

[@PeriscopeFilm]

In their defense, it was pretty hard to find a good jet engine made in the same era. The USAF's F-80s constantly had burned out engines. They were underpowered and unreliable for years.

Dr. Shuyler Wheeler invented the electric fan in 1882. Wheeler placed a two blade propeller on the shaft of an electric motor to create the fan. In 1904 he was awarded the John Scott Medal for his invention by the Franklin Institute. Not WESTINGHOUSE.

And I thought Al Bundy was selling shoes.

[@gardoarellano9601]

Thank for giving us artificial man made air

[@8800081]

Also known as the mutilator, the child quieter..... You look at those fans with the guards big enough to stick your hand in and you got to wonder how many kids and adults got their fingers cut off? Look Mom, the kitty lost her head.
