Hi,We are having a local discussion that would benefit from your opinion. From my research it appears from the GE catalogs that 16 inch pancake fans and many in the big motor era had blades with 3 rivets in a row. Other think that as in later years two rivets were also used such as the fan in the gallery. The blade on my 16 inch fan has two rivets so I am trying to determine if it is a substitute from a donor.

The very large cage badge was last used in 1902 I think (edit) on the early, fully ribbed base 1903 model. Last edited on Sun Jan 10th, 2021 04:03 pm by Steve Stephens |

I thought maybe this was an earlier blade but all the 16 inch fans in the catalogs has 3 rivets.Even one the first listing for the big motors in 1909 they are pictured that way, In the 1910 catalog they are shown with the three rivets in the triangle pattern Attached Image (viewed 112 times): Last edited on Sun Jan 10th, 2021 01:01 pm by Phillip L Clay |

All, 16" GE "Pancakes" had 3 large rivets in each of their blades. The larger (with flat flange about .300") cage "center" badge was also used in early variant of 1903 fully ribbed base 16" Pancake with cast spider hub and 4 struts.

Yes as I look closer it appears the center bearing was soldered.. I am guessing this was a homebrew replacement blade.

As Ted said, that isn't a GE pancake blade. The first 16 inch GE pancake was the 1899 Type UI form A bracket fan. It used three rivets for each wing and was a cast brass hub. The 16 inch blade with both cast brass and stamped brass hub continued to use three rivets per wing thru 1908. The 1899 and later 12 and 14 inch GE cakes used 2 rivets per wing. All GE 10", 12", and 14" models from 1894 thru 1898 used three rivets per wing in a triangular pattern.
