Old loose ceiling fan

Recorded in my childhood bedroom. Old, (dangerously) loose ceiling fan. Switched on by pulling a metal cable hanging from the side. Very slow start-up, building to intense repetitive sounds. Lots of clanging and clicking. Starts off with the fastest speed, then each time the cable (or switch) is pulled, the speed decreases. Stops when fan comes to a standstill. Recorded with a Zoom H5 and Rode NTG2.
