Heavy duty Swiss clockwork fan

Описание к видео Heavy duty Swiss clockwork fan

These 'windup' or clockwork fans were made by E. Paillard & Co. in Switzerland in the 1910s. They were intended for tropical countries and other areas not yet having electricity. The heavy duty spring motor provided a light breeze lasting about 30 minutes on a full winding. Paillard was famous for its fine music boxes and phonographs. The company also made hot air or stirling cycle fans at around the same time.
