The electric fan was an American invention which has been developed within the last few years until mil 1 Hons of the fans are' in use through- out the world. Back in the early eighties Dr.

S. Wheeler, an eleo trical engineer of New York, was ex perimenting with a small electric motor. In the course of his experi- jments the doctor conceived the idea that steamboats might be run with electricity if the propellers could be direct connected to high-speed elec- trie motors, doing away with all the gears the in use in steam propulsion With this idea in mind he bad a smal screw-prppellor constructed and fast ened it to the armature shaft of his small motor. To his surprise the ex periment resulted in a fine breeze of I cooling air which more than delight Jed the experimenter, for the day was decidedly hot. It is needless to add that the experiments with crew-pro pellors ended right there and the en- gineed took up the study of the elec trie fan with the result that he soon perfected the device until it was a commercial success, At that time all the fans were run by batteries.

Later they were con nected with the series arc lighting circuits, but this was found to be as dangerous at it was unsatisfactory, Little advance was made until 1888 when a successful attempt was made to connect them with the new incan descent lighting circuits, each fan to take the place of a lamp. Battery cur rent was too expensive for this venti lating device but as soon as central station current was available the fan became popular at once, and about 1890 the manufacture of electric fans began in earnest. A couple of years later the ceiling fan was introduced and since that time the production of desk, bracket, ceiling, and oscilating I fane Tiae tr-rnxtm Yir lag rva an1 hnnndt! and American fans are now supplied to every country on tne map. The. manner of testing fans at the General Electric Company's plant is" by noting the deflection of a screen against which the air draft is deflect I eL The best fans are those which move the greatest quantities of air at the lowest cost.

A good fan motor attached to the lighting circuit wil supply an abundance of cool air at a cost not in excess of a cent an -bour, care should be taken, however; to use the fans designed for the voltage at hand. Electric fans are made for op- eration on all voltages found in houses, nfflr.es and factories Today there are all kinds of elec- trie fans made to supply the cool 1 mountain breezes direct in the swel- I tering city, ranging all the way from I the tiny desk fan to the giant ceiling I fans and including the-new oscillat ing fans which send the current of air into all corners of the room.
