The griffin standing on clouds and holding an aircraft jet fan reflects the use of high performance fans in aviation engines. The Rolls Royce Griffon engine was used in many historic aircraft including the Spitfire and Shackleton. The City of London dragon standing on the steps of a building represents the use of fans in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning provided by building service engineers. The six bladed fan symbolises the many other uses of fans in the modern world from cooling computers to drying wet hands. The wings of the supporters, themselves also instruments of air movement, reflect by their colours the cooling and heating effects that mechanical fans achieve. | |||
