Never seen that first fan before, I kind of like the motor. The control looks a bit like those included with some Chadwick Miller spinners here in the US.
So many little fans, the tiny blades are so cute! Would love to see that in person, as well as all those choke controls! There's so many of them it seems it would be hard to keep track of which one controls which fan. I actually have a NIB TAT control like that, but it has a sticker that says "Windward" (for the Windward series) instead of the molded TAT logo.

Indian fans is what I'm expecting to see the most in Middle East. Looks like this one is in an abandoned building. Cool all the so small Crompton Parkinsons! Is that in a mosque? So beautiful! OMG all the controls! LOL! Typical overseas thing. ;D TMT! Yeah Just like in Chad. Interesting you have TMT and TAT. In N'Djamena I saw a lot of TMT's. Notice there a mix of older and newer TMT controls. The newer ones is the ones with the bigger knob. Because variable speed controls is not very popular over there that's what the result. I bank full of controls. I remember the outdoor restaurant of Novotel hotel in N'Djamena had around 14 Mazda's white 56'' 3 curved bladed fans installed there. The controls were not exposed to public but imagine the place where all the controls were. Does theses controls are for the small Crompton Parkisons? Did you saw actual TMT? If you go in the newer part of Dubai your gonna see full of Hunters. You saw this?: www.theceilingfancompany.com/imagegal.phpBeautiful fans hen?

Oh... Didn't see how it only said Crompton; I probably saw the 'Crompton' part and thought Crompton Greaves. Heh heh, sorry.. I fixed my above comment though.

got the EEC fan (the first pic) XD Great! What kind of shape is it in? one blade is a bit bent, the motor needs some work since there is some thin rope that is tied up at the top of the motor casing the motor not to spin properly and it may have entered the top bearings... i spinned the fan before taking it, it needs some oiling as well.. the canopies are in good condition despite a small crack on the yellowed part of the top canopy. the blades are really light comparing to other fans i have (they are not aluminum) edit: removed the ropes and greased the fan... the fan's structure looks very badly made.. the motor has no bearings at the bottom and there is a plastic piece that MUST be placed on the top part of the motor to keep it "stabilized".. it really affects the motor's preformance by making it harder to accelerate.. the sad thing is i can't bring it out since the wires block the way.... the motor (bladeless) starts really slowly (but ends up fast), i expect it to be a bit faster than relite but with bad air circulation... at least it looks very nice.. the motor is very quiet comparing to other fans i have
