Hi all,
I have the pleasure to post some pictures from a French small expo showing wooden propellers.
A very early Ratmanoff serial KU in original condition. On the table, a hub and a model to explain laminated construction.
WW1 propellers, from left to right : a Ratier serial 15 for Morane, a Régy serial 300 (copper shielded pusher) for Voisin, an English prop serial AD644 for Sopwith Camel, a Régy serial 337 for Spad XI and Caudron R11, a Régy serial 343 for Sopwith ½ Strutter, a Levasseur serial 586 for Spad XIII, a Ratier serial 34 for Bréguet XIV A², another Ratier serial 34, this one made by Selmersheim, a Chauvière serial 2219 (copper shielded) for Nieuport X, a Ratmanoff serial HS made by SHAM-De La Granville (special construction with thin laminations) for Spad XIII and a Lumière serial 144 for Sopwith Dolphin Mk2.
Remains of a 1916 Ratier serial 7bis (pusher), the first Ratier success serial (1600 sold). I hope next expo will show side by side an intact one (...). On the right, a post war Ratier serial 112.
End on next post.
