With the warmth experienced this spring, no doubt many people have been using electric fans. Here, at Market Lavington Museum, we have such a fan from the 1930s.
An electric fan - one of the Treasures of Market Lavington
The fan was made by the metallic Seamless Tube Co Ltd of Birmingham.
It was, appropriately named, The Zephyr.

Our fan belonged to a White Street family before it found its way to the museum. This year it came out of a storage box and is on display.
