I have a plastic Lakewood box fan like that too which works but nothing to write home about. It makes a bunch of noise and moves very little air.

heehee...you need somethin' like this little jewel! We had one similar to this when I was a kid, back in the early 60s. It was an all-metal 3-speed monster on a big roll-around stand, and it ran like a top for over 40 years until my mom and dad sold it in a garage sale.

Nice fan! Those vintage fans are great and move a mass amount of air. Here's one of mines. It was purchased at an antique shop for $15.

I got my Emerson on the side of the road! Works great though one of the wheels is missing the rubber portion (so it rolls awkwardly)...

Here's a youtube of a similar model.

One of my bros has this same exact fan. It's been in the family since new. Probably early to mid 80's. I have to show mines someday.

Hope none of our transmitter blowers does what that fan did in the film clip!Could be really DESTRUCTIVE!!On one of the types of blowers we use-has a 5Ft propellor(looks more like something off a boat)the blades are half in thick alunimum turned by a 15hp motor.We start these blowers at the tranmsmiter the fan themselves are in blower rooms on each side of the building.the other fans are really large squirrel cage ones.again 15 hp motors.Sometimes I have to grease these blowers and motors.they cool the tube water radiators.
