The top of the blade has a molded shape. I'll get a picture eventually. Yep

Hmm, interesting... Is it supposed to improve the airflow? How does it work?

I really believe the blade was designed like that in order to support its own weight.

I agree with you - the molded plastic blades are thicker in the middle than on the edges as well, but the blade is simply rounded instead of being shaped like this. The fiberglass blades also look incredibly tacky if installed upside down as seems to be the case of a lot of the fans featuring them that get pictured.

Makes sense . . . I always thought it affected airflow as well, as the fiberglass blades appear to move more air than plastic. Might be true, might be my imagination. It's all conjecture unless we can back it up with data.

Btw, does anyone have any info on this fan? My uncle had the same fan, but with 6 blades and 4 speeds. This particular one is 3 pointed blades and 2 speeds. It's a window/floor fan. It folds open and closes like a book. Cool fan. I have part of my uncle's original box. Edit: hey look! It's me!

I like the Carroways, very vintage looking/ I've never seen them in white before.
What was this place before it was a temple?
Menards sold that windowfan, or one like it.

I don't know, it has a complete kitchen, and there's lockers upstairs. No clue. I really liked the window fan. It was what got me started in liking fans. My aunt used to let me play with my uncle's when she babysitted me. I was just like 1 or 2. It has a really sentimental value to me.

It looks like a restaurant.

Oh OK I did not know that Ge vents have a ornate sideband.
Yeah these ARE Hampton bay Huntington II. They appear to have a great bunch of them. I looks like they have too wide blades and the brackets are long. Well this is at you Buddhist temple? Because we see a golden Buddha statue. Are these peoples on the floor praying/meditating or eating/drinking tea?
I like the Carroways but I toughed that they cammed with pointed blades. The motor shape reminds me of a Banvil Gold Line 36'' or Evergos. Are they variable speed or 3-speed ?
I also like the stand fan. 80s or 90s?

Yeah, I like the Carroways...exactly how many were there? I knew that I had seen said Carroway in white before in my childhood and not a day henceforth. It is also one of my most sought-after fans for my collection.
Ben, your pics prove that they do exist in white.
BTW, The Evergo is pretty sweet too. I assume it was a product of K-Mart back in the day.
