The book page dates March of 09. Strictly Jandus in 09. Notice those GE motors on the gyro. How would those motors start if there is no transformer?  Attached Image (viewed 685 times):

This C frame is one of those PBF examples in the gallery. Notice the old cloth appliance wire used for the head cord is the same as the power cord. I kinda doubt that old cloth power wire has a THIRD ground wire in it. Attached Image (viewed 661 times): Last edited on Mon Apr 15th, 2013 05:13 pm by Russ Huber |

Fred, do you think you have seen a centrifugal start Jandus gyro and desk fan now?

Personally pretty surprised by that. Definitely expected it to go a good bit more.

The GE motor examples you show here are all self starting, non-centrifugal. The Cee frame you show (PDF) is identical to mine, and I have seen that appliance cord like in the photo with three conductors. If any of these GE motors were split phase, then the struts would be straight on the motor-front, ala Emerson. I have yet to see a GE split-phase motor on a Jandus gyro or desk fan... I was surprised at the ending price on that cherry gyro...I hope it did not leave the country...If I was bucks-up I would have plopped a $20,000 snipe on it...no kidding... THAT is a ceiling fan that I would be major interested in...

As cool as the Jandus gyro's are and as rare as they are, I'll still take a Westy over a Jandus. I appreciate the Westy's absurdly complicated and troublesome mechanism and its design leaves a lot more room for blinging than a Jandus gyro does. T

As you can clearly see......the gyro image has GE induction motors on it. Jandus/AB gyros do NOT have speed coils in them. please explain to us all how the motors on this JANDUS AC gyro in "1909" got started? Do keep in mind... GE AC desk fans in 09 were offered ONLY with centrifugal start mechanisms per their own fan motor bulletin. The GE AC motors with 3 wire head cord were offered in the 1910 fan motor bulletin. So...back to the question. How did these "JANDUS" GE AC gyro motors start in 1909? Attached Image (viewed 533 times):

By the way, do you want to see a gyro rock at auction, there is a trick to that...it is called straight arm. Far more weiner arm gyros floating around believe it or not. Haroldson name the "WEINER" arm gyro. Do you REALLY want to see a gyro rock at auction? Look for the name Essex.

Didn't stand a chance against Bernie and the boys at the big "J" fan and arc light factory. One of these pop up on ebay, get out the koolaid and popcorn.

Supposedly one of these was spotted in the Midwest 25-30 years ago. It was described as a three motor gyro.

Chuck disagreed with me, but I feel it strongly in my guts your looking at what remains of an Essex in this image. Look how the fan motors project up OUT of the body below. It appears the ceiling fan assembly below was removed. Attached Image (viewed 582 times): Last edited on Tue Apr 16th, 2013 07:05 pm by Russ Huber |

All the guys who think this fan is a piece of 24K gold will cringe when really think about it, but ... The bottom line is that if this fan was worth more then someone would have paid more. It's not like the fan didn't get enough exposure from this web site. As an example, Somebody (not me) asked the seller about cleaning areas of the fan on the same day I raised the issue in a post on this thread.

I was pretty surprised at the price myself. In hindsight, he probably would have done better if he had given it a good cleaning to show what the real condition is. Close to 5 g's for an old fan is still pretty good money though. I thought it was going to go for a lot more but I've thought lots things that didnt pan out lol.

I live 40 miles from the national fan museum, didnt know it was there untill i became interested in fans and seen it mentioned in this forum... After nearly 3 year in fans I know of no-one who knows about the museum, and I get around!! Tom Dreesen wrote: Tim Marks wrote:Tom Dreesen wrote:

Russ Huber wrote: Fred Berry wrote: Hi Russ, The drawings of both the wire trunnion desk fan and the gyro show GE motors. The wire trunnion is easy to see as the motor has the trunnion screws close to the front end bell, whereas the true non-GE split phase motors used on both the gyros and a few desk fans have the trunnion screws exactly mid-point on the stators. Also note the struts...They are mounted on the outer perimeter of the end bells and have the end-bends, denoting the 2nd generation BMY motors, those that are self-starting (non-centrifugal) If these wonderful, old catalogs like yours here had true photos, then we'd know for sure...But back in those daze, photos were still not that popular, so the catalogs used prints like the one above. The only way to know if there was ever a Jandus fan that used the 1908 GE centrifugal start motors, would be if someone here has one or one shows up sometime. That could definitely happen as the cee frame with the AB motor did...I thought there were none of those either and was proven wrong. But here I stick to my guns that your catalog prints are showing non-centrifugal, self-starting BMY-style motors. Do any of the ceiling fan people here have a GE-motor'd Jandus Gyro so we can see? From what I have read here and seen, every single GE centrifugal-start BMY motor had the straight, front-mounted struts, no exceptions. EDIT: Although the early 1909 catalog stated centrifugal, I'll bet you that the self-starting motors came out before, during or right after your catalog was printed. When GE printed their 1910 catalog, the new motors appeared in them. But they were being used in 1909, as your catalogs clearly show. Any GE specialists (Kim Don Eckerson)) want to chime in on this?

Just on-off operation. With no transformer, there has to be a means of starting the motors. Without the transformer, no phase shift to get it rolling. So...you either have centrifugal start or.....shaded pole option, it appears. I kinda doubt they were shaded pole. I assure you the book page dates early 09.
