Not the right fan, Carl. This one is 4 bladed and riveted metal.
Each of the blades is a stamped square the pulling power comes from
the angle of attack on the blades. The fan which acme with my `4 was
a riveted thing, the blades were slightly contoured,the edges
rounded. The angle on the blades was less extreme... It just didn't
pull the air through as well.
