[Healeys] Kenlowe

[i erbs]

I bought an aeroline fan with some pretty cool looking blades and the
instructions say reverse the wire if it's to be used as a pusher fan. Do
not touch the fan blades. I bought one similar to this-
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aeroline-Electric-Radiator-Cooling-Universal/dp/B01E7E4WO4
.
Will install with a thermostat and manual switch over the winter.
