the motor with a bladed propeller secured to the output shaft. The motor includes
a housing with a mounting area for securing an electrical control switch. The mounting
area is provided by a flange portion of the rear motor wall and positioned radially
outwardly relative to the output shaft, and provides mounting of the control switch
with a user interface that is exposed from the fan frame. The fan assembly motor
also may provide an electrical connection port for removable attachment of an electrical
