Didn't mean to open a can of worms here with my original statement. I was
only trying to point out a possible problem as to why some fans don't seem
to be cooling as well as expected. Besides, I was only repeating what the
directions for a Hayden #3710 said. But I think Jim Miller said it best, so
I'm sticking with his explanation. That, and the fact that reversing the
blade AND polarity make a much better puller fan, from a pusher, than just
reversing the polarity. <g>
