while searching for ceiling fans in arabic i came up with some more pictures: SMC on ground claimed to have fallen from the ceiling but that sounds BS (according to the forums).. SMC is from late 90s - 2000s generation  ceiling fan in a balcony in egypt  the new curvy bladed TMT   a ceiling fan that detached from it's connector pin in a school.. that fan looks like a crompton greaves high breeze  a very old crompton parkinson fan motor  2 old ceiling fans on the ground, 1 is most probably TMT, the one is unidentified  a very old ceiling fan, abandoned  a very old ceiling fan in a museum in kuwait   |

Very cool pictures!
I love the blue TAT in Egypt. Theses are pretty rare.
The newer TMT with the nut is very cool too. The blades are very similar to the ones seen on current Canarm fans and the nut and canopies is made like on 1980s fans.
The fans on pic 6, 9 and 10 are actually GEC Kingsway. They are from the early 1940s.
I love searching for ceiling fans in other languages than just English. I found very cool thing by searching in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Polish, Thai and a few other languages.

That new TMT with the nut is awesome! Wish they sold stuff like that here.
LOL that portable taped to the ceiling has come up in the FAIL category so many times.
Also love all the older curved blade models.

The old curvy bladed fans in Iran seems to be the same as the ones you saw in Dubai area that were unknown.
Ouff! Poor fans! The airport of N'Djamena also had a whole bunch of fans with blades badly twisted in weird ways. They were generic white Chinese 140cm fans with skinny curved blades.

I think those industrials might have a slight wobble when they run.
