| Other than Airmaster, Diehl, and Westinghouse, were there other pre-1950 manufacturers of 20"-30" oscillating pedestal circulators? I'm just trying to do a little research on my own. Anyone know where I can copy literature? I don't think Emerson made them (but I've been wrong before). I used to see them at fleas and swap meets long ago but those days are over. Should have grabbed one but you know how that is--can't take home every puppy at the pound... Last edited on Fri Oct 9th, 2009 03:49 pm by Ken Rodoni

Scroll down to page #6 on this PDF link provided Ken. Roto-Beam made pedestal circulators from 8-24". So far, the Roto-Beam(Max Weber of Chicago)pedestal circulators patents are the EARLIEST I have found.

The patent link provided is Weber's...first filed in 33.

| I love that ad! The woman looks like she's about to climb the rope in gym class. But did Roto-Beam make jumbo oscillators?

I may add yet another thing to ponder Ken. There may be a pedestal circulator out there that PREDATES the 30s in someone's shed. There was a group of men from chicago area. One in particular...William Leinweber. He developed a blade patent INTENDED for FAN purpose as early as 24. If I am not mistaken I think Herman Hueglin(Federal Merchandice Co./Airmaster) used his blade patent in the late 20s in wall ventilators and mid to late 30s pedestal circulators.

A 24" blade on a 1/3-1/4 horse motor isn't exactly a tinker toy there Ken.

Very true and that thing moves a ton of air at the expense of going deaf. But wonderful though it was, it didn't oscillate. And therein lies the rub...

Grainger(Chicago)started making circulators under the trademark name of "Dayton" late 30s. I would think there may be a strong possibilty Grainger may of produced a Oscillating circulator down the road. No patents.
