GEC Madras - India - 1941

DESCRIPTION

In 1886 two German immigrants, Gustav Biswanger and Hugo Hirst, founded The General Electric Apparatus Company in London, which three years later became the General Electric Company; it then expanded rapidly, setting up subsidiaries and factories in Europe, Japan, Australia, South Africa, India and South America
We indeed found models of GEC fans in both Britain and India, still with their original labels. We came across the Madras model, a 3-bladed fan with a diameter of cm. 140, with the “Made in India – 1941” label.
