The propellor in this image has the Drawing No. 10100-I cannot find it in Bob Gardener's book.Does anyone know a reason for the ideograms? It is displayed in Airspace-Imperial War Museum.The propellor is not related to the Napoer lion 1B engine to which it is attached.

Hi Leonides,
I was told by the Napier Power Heritage Trust restoration team leader of that particular engine that the script said "triple four".
I am also unsure of that engine being a "series 1" unit, that series of engines had a different water jacket system and different heads, I believe it is a series 2B.
Finding a suitable prop for a Lion engine is quite difficult due to the size and being LHT.
