Westinghouse "Arnine" Direct Current Ceiling Fan.

Okay. As the New York City Subway hosts an annual vintage subway special on Saturdays during the month of December, they have a museum train of subway cars that were built between 1931 to 1939, which is part of their transit museum collection at the Transit Museum located in Brooklyn Heights.

Now, for those who have taken the vintage subway special (a.k.a Holiday Shopper's Special), you may have noticed the ceiling fans inside all cars except R7A 1575.

These ceiling fans run on direct current, and due to lack of any model number info, i nickname them "Westinghouse Arnine", as the Arnine nickname is used also to refer to the holiday train.





Here's a video:



Many of the ceiling fans need some mechanical work done, but all are fully functional

I was actually wondering when someone was going to take notice of this and post something..

Good night, how fast are those things going? I hope they're high enough where people can't accidentally reach them...
