Info about a wooden propeller of WW1 (probably of an AIRCO DH4)
Hello,
I'm looking for more information of my wooden propeller of WW1. I think the airplane is an AIRCO DH4 The following information is on the propeller: DRG N° 2610 LH D3050 P3740 R.R. EAGLE 8 G 1540 N 16 Questions: Are there records that show which aircraft the propeller was fitted to? Are there records that show the relatioships between motor and propeller? What do the number on the propeller mean? |

Roger,
I can take a stab at a few of the lines. DRG N° 2610 LH - is the drawing number for this propellor. LH would be 'left hand' ie rotation. D3050 P3740 - diameter and pitch I suspect in millimeters. R.R. EAGLE 8 G 1540 N 16 - Rolls Royce Eagle engine. No idea what the rest would be. Regards, John |

It is a D.H.4 propeller.
Hi Roger:
According to a propeller list I have, Dwg.No.2610 LH is a D.H.4 propeller to be used in conjunction with the Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII engine. it is a four bladed propeller. It is only used wth the combination of the D.H.4 and Eagle VIII engine. Merry Christmas roger, Dan-San |

My propeller is 2-bladed. Are 4-bladed propellers made of two 2-bladed propellers attached to eachother? If fourbladed propellers were made of one piece, there would have to be signs of damage and there aren't any. I'm quite sure i read the numbers on the propeller correctly.

Two bladed combined.
Hi Roger:
Two, two bladed propellers, Dwg. No. 2610 were combined to make a four bladed propeller, and used exclusively with the Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII engine on the D.H.4, F.5721 with Squadron 217 D.H.4 (RAF) is an example. Merry Christmas Roger, Dan-San |
