" This
photograph
depicts
several
assembly
line
workers
winding
small
armatures
, an
internal
piece
of a
fan
, at the
Robbins
&
Myers
Company
in
Springfield
,
Ohio
.
Robbins
&
Myers
,
Inc
. was
originally
established
in
1878
by
Chandler
Robbins
and
James
Myers
in
Springfield
,
Ohio
,
near
Dayton
. The
founders
brought
varied
experiences
to the
business
;
Robbins
, had been an
astronomer
and
surveyor
, and
Myers
had been a
teacher
and
grocer
.
Robbins
had
invested
$500
in a
gray-iron
foundry
in
1876
, and was
joined
two
years
later
by
Myers
. The
new
owners
changed
the
company
name
from
Lever
Wringer
Company
to The
Robbins
&
Myers
Company
. The
company
namesakes
initially
manufactured
castings
for
agricultural
tools
and
machines
, and then
broadened
into
bicycle
parts
when
that
industry
boomed
at the
turn
of the
century
. From the
late
1800s
to the
early
1900s
the
Company's
product
line
expanded
to
include
castings
for the
motor
powered
fan
. The
growing
use
of
electricity
prompted
Robbins
&
Myers
to
develop
and
manufacture
its
own
line
of
motor
powered
fans
,
which
eventually
included
ceiling
,
desk
,
oscillating
and
ventilating
fans
.
