These are Fasco centennials; they're essentially a plain variable-speed version of the olde south. Needless to say, I love these. Other things worth noting: 1. The fact that at least two of them have Levolier pullchains. 2. The different variable speed knobs indicate two completely different types of variable speed system; the fat knobs are normal cardboard-box controls while the narrow knobs indicate a system similar to Casablanca's Slumber-Quiet system. I noticed the two different variable speed controls but didn't notice that.. I'll add the info to the galleries.. And add the differences with the control systems when I get the pictures of the second 52" fan uploaded..

Very interesting.. Is yours labeled Fasco or Spartan? Spartan.. but I have seen the same fan labeled as Fasco. I noticed the two different variable speed controls but didn't notice that.. I'll add the info to the galleries.. And add the differences with the control systems when I get the pictures of the second 52" fan uploaded.. The non-cardboard box system is also noticeably more quiet.

Thanks guys...
The Fan with the fatter knob that has the cardboard housing variable speed control is loud as you said.. The 38" with the Vari-Low system is quiet.. I haven't gotten to the third fan yet, I should get around to that today..
Here are videos of the two:

And here's the third video.. One thing I've noticed about these variable speed Fascos, is the range the control has, there's really no effect when turning the knob until the very end, where it takes big effect when just turning a slight notch.. Are all these Fascos like this?

The ones with the pot/heat sink certainly are.
