"Backwards"? Has anybody looked at the fins in a squirrel cage blower? These are used in about 50 kajillion blower motors, such as your a/c blower, kitchen range hoods, many bathroom exhaust fans, etc., etc. If you're convinced they are all backwards, somebody has a lot of explaining to do!

3D87C4 has it right!
