Northwind Timeline
Type 44
| Type 44 Line began in 1916 with the introduction of the model 44A. They were manufactured through 1924 ending with model 44F or 44. (my sources are inconclusive) All these models were 8 inch, non-oscillating, 2 speed fans. They were made in 110V AC/DC and 32V DC. They were painted in a solid gold color. |
Type 450
| Type 450 Line began in 1917 with the introduction of the model 450A. They were manufactured through 1924 ending with model 450M. These fans were manufactured as 10", 3 speed, oscillators. Although all were oscillators, some had what is known as the "Ball Detent" oscillating mechanism. These fans were also manufactured to run on different voltages like the Type 44 models, some ran on 110V AC/DC still others were made for 32V DC. They all had painted steel blades with black bases. |
Type 444
| Type 444 Line began in 1926 with the introduction of the model 444A. They were manufactured through 1928 ending with model 444C. These fans were manufactured as 8", 2 speed, non-oscillators. These fans were manufactured to run on 110V AC/DC. They all had painted gold blades with black bases. |
Type 55
| Type 55 Line began in 1928 . They were manufactured through 1930. I have been told there was a model 55A. I would like to see one someday. These fans were manufactured as 8", single speed, non-oscillators. These fans were manufactured to run on 110V AC/DC. They all had off-white colored blades with a variety of colors available on the bases. |
