    Air movement device. More commonly known as a fan.



    I don't know if this is apocryphal or not, but I read that this is how a fan was listed in the IBM catalogue, back when IBM made PCs.

    Back in the 1970s I taught in a Local Educational Authority which would not sanction the purchase of electric kettles for use in science lessons, because of their secondary application for making coffee at break in the prep-room.

    The physics department therefore purchased some “steam generators”, while our colleagues in biology bought a pair of “water otters". :smile:
