[TechAssist] Re: A question about fans and switches

Probably because when you first turn the fan on there is little or no air
movement in the area, and you have that mass that needs to overcome inirtia.

I have seen many fans that have the off position on each end, and then the
variable speed fans that either start on high or low.
