Yup. Same here.

THANKS, again empirical evidence opposite the 'experts'!


Perhaps it depends upon the climate. I've lived in tropical climates most
of my life. I've used ceiling fans for decades, long before they were
popular or even commonly available.



Unlikely, unless you are 130 years old. In restaurants or even some
upscale southern homes they had such fans back then. Often multiple
units driven by a common motor and belts. They had less than the usual
five blades of modern versions but they sure were ceiling fans.

Even today's style showed up in the stores over 100 years ago:

Ours doesn't look much different except that it has five blades.
