Early air conditioning

Found this little fan at a local flea market. After I determine it works, I noted it was made by the Heinz, the same company that made electric wiper motors.
Pretty Cool now in my truck.

My 49 Ford had 4/60 air conditioning. Worked really well too.

A local man showed me one of these fans last weekend. His was a vacuum operated Trico two bladed fan. Pretty interesting.

They use to use fans like that to keep the windshields clear in the winter time.
Back in the day many cars with out fresh air deforsters use them. The school bus I use to ride on use a couple of them.
