FUNCTION OVER FORM

When I worked at an industrial supply house around 1960, we sold lots of belts, pillow blocks and the like for industries like citrus processing plants, etc.
The fans above, both operating via a single motor, may have been running for a century already...

Steampunked fans....there is something to be said for industrial grade most anything. I've seen so many numerous example of pieces of equipment running for decades. One of the last being a gold mill in Africa that lost a bearing through neglect. Had been in operation since 1971...in the armpit of Africa.
