Original 1900 Emerson PI241 12" Desk Fan. This Very Rare "Stick Mount" Example Features A Beautiful Original Finish. When We Acquired This Example It Was Not Running, We Sent The Motor To Rick Huckabee For A Fresh Rewind. If You Are Not Familiar With The Operation Of Early PI241 Fans, They Start Just Like A Tripod. To Start The Fan, The Switch Lever Slides To The Far Right (This Engages Your Start Winding) Once The Fan Starts The Switch Should Immediately Slide Back To The Left To Disengage Those Windings. I Cannot Imagine How Many Motors Emerson Must Have Repaired Or Replaced Before The Centrifugal Start Switch Design. Very Early And Desirable Fan.
