Aug 13, 2017 It resembles the GE 'Vortalex' introduced in 1938 but this Quiet Blade model differs in that the struts are separate from the cage instead of being integral with the cage wires. The motors are also different in the way the cage mounts to the motor. Fan runs smoothly on all three speeds and oscillates as it should.
