I will certainly be on the lookout for one of those, although Fairburys are not as common here as Aermotors, Dempsters, and Monitors. I do have a few #7 types.

Aaron, don't forget about the Aer O Matic. A bit of different design (with the rollers on the driven gear) but it was technically a worm drive.

I got one of those Jud, your are right, that would technically be a worm drive. I wish I could find some information on Beatrice Metal Products, I got the vaneless variety but I have never seen a printed parts list or anything. Thanks

Yes, not much for literature on them. I may have one sheet or two- will have to check. Congrats on finding one.
