As mentioned in post 8:

Paragraph 3 of Vince's webpage as mentioned above:

1. The Model A fan was very prone to cracking

2. was replaced with an improved construction Model B style.

3. The Model B fan was also known as the Holley design fan.

Paragraph 4:

Version 2. At a glance it looks like every other fan, but it is a much improved construction, and was Ford's fix to the fan cracking problem which was becoming apparent at that point in time. These improved Model B fan blades are made from a single piece steel stamping.

Comment: This second version of stamped steel fan might be the one that is called "cast"?
