Tho Electric Fan.

Back in the early eighties DIR. S. s.
Wheeler, m electrical engineer OF New

electric motor. In the course Of his ex-
periments the doctor conceived the
idea that steamboats, might be run
with electricity If the propellers could
be directly connected TO high speed
electric motors. doing away with all
the gears then in use in steam propri-
sion. With this idea in mind he hda /.
small screw propeller constructed and
fastened it TO the armature shaft Of
his small motor TO his surprise the
experiment resulted I'm n fne br9eze OF
cooling air which more than delighted
the eXperimeDter for the day wvs de-
cidedly hot 1t Is needless to add that
the experiments with screw propellers
ended right there, and the engineer
took up the study of the electric fan,
with the result that he soon perfected
the device until it was a commercial
success.
