Back in the "the good old days" advanced technology came slowly. One noteable exception was the contraction that was a combination king size fly shooer and ceiling fan(see picture). The tool was placed strategically over the dinning room table for obvious reasons. A rope was attached to the device and a servant would pull the rope back and forth making the thing swing back and forth while the family was dining. It kept house flies at bay and stirred the air to keep everyone cool. There was no electricity back then, so making the thing work was cheap. As you can see, it was decorated with a nice design to give it fashion and function. Not a bad idea.
