| History: |
Rider´s and the Radios Collectors Guide listings allocate Day-Fan to General Motors. But Day-Fan models were not made under GM! The Radio Collectors Guide (Grinder/Fathauer) and Rider´s are obviously incorrect! See Slusser/Bunis. Please allocate all Models pre 1929 at Day-Fan. 1889 wurde die Dayton Fan & Motor Company gegründet. Produziert wurden Ventilatoren. 1922 begann die Herstellung von Radio-Bauteilen und ab 1924 von kompletten Radiogeräten. 1929 wurde die Firma von General Motors aufgekauft. Rider´s Perpetual und (wohl daraus später folgend) Radio Collectors Guide führen die Firma fälschlich unter General Motors. Es gibt aber nach 1929 keine Dayfan Modelle mehr. Es wurde unter der GM-Marke Delco produziert (gleiche Adresse!), und diese läuft unter United Motor Service (Delco). |
