Bruce do you have any pics of the Baker Fan?
let me see what I can dig up Jim , I feature it in several video's  anything in particular that you would like to see  ?
 here we go Jim, this is pretty descriptive.

here is what I wrote when I posted it originally
Miniature model Baker fan with Wilesco D406 steam tractor, made with an oak frame & pine paddles , measures 5" tall , 5 1/2" long & 2 3/4" wide, has 2 brass pulleys that are 15/16" od x 1/2" wide (flat belt size) and the smaller brass pulley is 5/8" od. the frame is secured by 2 brass stay rods, it has 2 flanged roller ball bearings supporting the axle. almost any steam engine that can run rather slowly will power it. it does move air, so higher speeds create greater drag...thus needing more power...just like the full size baker fans.
