Jeffrey Mine Fan Casing   Save
Jeffrey Manufacturing Company Collection
Description: Mine fan casing inside the factory of the Jeffrey Manufacturing Company of Columbus, Ohio, 1914. This casing housed a 14 foot fan. Fans like this were built over mines to force fresh air into the mine for miners to breathe and to dissipate dangerous gasses. The fan was belt-driven and powered by a steam engine or electric motor. Jeffrey made this casing for the Pennsylvania Coal Company. View on Ohio Memory.
