USE OF THE REVOLVING FAN

That the use OF revolving fans enor-

the Hospital (London). Says this pa

THE use OF ventilators with revolv-
ing fans has become very common In
large public buildings, especially res
taurants and shops. In most cases
these ventilators communicate with
the outside, and they are installed. OF
course, with the idea of ventilating
and purifying the air within by In
cleaslng the rate Of exchange with the
external atmosphere. But revolving
fans are also frequently used. espe-
cially in hot weather, simply to pro-
duce a cooling effect by setting up a
current Of air inside. Drs. A. Sartory
and A. Filassier have examined the
meteorological effect of these fans and
ventilators upon the atmosphere with

meters the number of bacteria rose
from 10000 to $4,000 after the fan
was working for one hour. In every
instance in fact, the number OF bac-
terra per cubic meter was doubled. or
even quadrupled. AS the authors
point out, with these facts such APP

dangerous and detrimental to the pub
