Long ago, when they warned us about not sticking our fingers in the fan, this is the all-steel heavy-duty electric fan they were talking about.The cat really likes to sit near the fan. Really near the fan. Words don't describe what could happen, so just watch.Marley the cat is just fine, but especially for this video she put on the closest cat+fan encounter so far, ever! Update: I moved the fan to the bookshelf so she can't walk past it and get her tail in it, but she could still get up on the shelf with it if she really wanted to. She has other fans around the house to luxuriate beside, including one pointed at her favorite chair.For the fan fans (yes, you know who you are, obsessed with the fan): a photo of the specs plate on the fan:http://richardginn.us/gallery/daybooks/090618/fan+specs.jpg.htmlIt's a bit more than 1/10th horsepower, drawing .8 amps at 115 volts = 92 watts. It's a General Electric Vortalex model 49X936 made between 1938 and 1941. The fan blades are black, which may matter if you are hunting for the exact model.
