ne of the few surviving twin blade electric fans manufactured by the English Electric company in Italy in 1930s. This unit was presented by the manufacturer for product test to Sri Sivasankar Mudaliar of Kallankurichi Zamin.  This fan has served his hereditary until this day and has been graciously presented to The STEVE BORGIA INDIAN HERITAGE MUSEUM for exhibition for benefit of its patrons. Later, the company got into production of aircrafts and banters to meet the war time market and reduced into fan production.

The English Electric Co. was formed in 1918 from the merger of a number of companies, in the heavy electrical industry: Dick Kerr and Company (engineering), Willans & Robinson (diesel engines), the Phoenix Dynamo Manufacturing Company (small motors, alternators and generators) and the Stafford works of Siemens Bros. English Electric was formed from these companies with capital of £5 million, more than any other British electrical company at the time. Emersons another great company manufactured fans by 1895. It had introduced a two-bladed ceiling fan that could run on alternating current. Four years later the company adapted a scalloped trailing-edge fan blade that would dramatically improve air flow, yet reduce noise. At the turn of the century, the ten year-old company could claim more innovations than any of its competitors  in the industry. And competition is still playing catch-up today.  This Twin Blade fan has ben presented to The Steve Borgia Indian Heritage Museum by his grandson Shri. Ratnam Prakash.
