Non-reversible Unities? STRANGE.

Excellent pictures as per usual David! That dual install is rather intriguing. I'm very surprised that those Canarm Unities don't have the reverse feature. Normally in 1995 they would have had a reverse pull chain. Non-reversible Unities? STRANGE. Although not particularly common, non-reversible Canarm Unities are occasionally spotted. I have actually worked with a 1995 model in the past.

Thanks guys for your good comments !
Of course the unities are strange, I've never seen a "residential" type ceiling fan without a reverse switch. In the switch housing, there was enough room for a reverse switch. But why was this fan not reversable? I can't figure out.

But why was this fan not reversible? I can't figure out. I have a theory... Canarm wished to create an incredibly inexpensive residential ceiling fan. To reduce manufacturing costs, the reverse pull chain was simply omitted from the already-produced Unity. Due to the unpopularity of this variation, it was promptly discontinued, however.

19th, late 2000's Canarm Grand Builder BPT No date tag on the motor housing. The fan is still sold in lighting center, so this particular fan could be as new as 2015 I got it without ball, socket and canopy. How I got it How I sold it 20th, 1990's Nadair. No tag on the motor housing. I assumed it was a Nadair. pull chain was broken and I did'nt had any spare. 21st, 2003 Canarm Eurofan BPT

Did they utilize the same motor? I'd think if they really wanted to save money, they'd use a motor which didn't include the reverse windings.. Omitting those is probably going to save more money than omitting a cheap little switch..

Omitting those is probably going to save more money than omitting a cheap little switch.. Canarm did not use "reverse windings" in many of their fans (the Unity included). I therefore suspect the motor would have remained identical in that respect.

Magazines!!!! From october 1980, DIY wood magazine and this particular article on how to build a mini bar Hunter original, 36" R&M Wonder what's up with the bizarre cover over the downrod? Maybe Hunter made them alter the picture to avoid copyright infringement? (remember the package for that lighting control back in the 90's that had an Original with its vents and brackets edited to look different?) Fixer upper House #2 (the one they bought) They converted the garage into a music room and added a Quorum Dragonfly Don't remember this episode... looks like a lot of vintage fans went bye-bye Fasco after Fasco after Fasco meets an untimely death on Fixer Upper... I didn't realize they were so common around here until this show. House#3 Foxworth Galbraith Marquis Deluxe

Jw, and if they had remove all the hanging hardware so it can be suspended in the decor ? I think they put the brown thing to cover the chains or whatever was supporting the fan
For the fixer upper episode, I think it was one of their newest episode,

Very nice Nadair catalogs. On the 8th picture we see the white nutless version of the Nadair I sold to Philippe.

I decided this week to change my test station. The old one was not that good. If a fan was turning, the whole station was wobbling a bit, so I wanted something solid. The conversion was not that long. The ceiling is 9'-3" high, so I need a ladder to reach the pull chains.. But I really like the clean look of everything. doesn't look the clean look of it 22nd, was a 1995 Canarm Mystic WH/PB It wasn't in the best cosmetic condition, but it was working quite well

I loooove Mystics. I'd ideally like to find a green/brass one with the reverse pullchain. I have one from 2003 in green/brass with the reverse switch.
