Vornado Fan: Sutton Bet Against the Eggheads

The Wichita Eagle highlights the story of the Vornado fan’s origin and manufacture in Wichita:
After the war, Sutton hired a research company to investigate the feasibility of manufacturing fans.
The research company sent him a $30,000 invoice and told him not to build the fans.
Sutton didn’t listen. He believed more in the power of aerodynamics.
His company eventually evolved into Vornadofan Corporation and was one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fans and air conditioners.
