  • inherited WW1? wooden prop

    I just inherited a wooden prop. It has the following markings:
    L.H.H.P. 370
    Liberty Motor
    Lang Products Company
    No. 5222
    Pitch 8.65
    Dia 8 - 4
    Org No
    SF 5090

    THe prop has metal leading edges on the on about the first 1.5 feet. The ends (about 2 feet or so) are cloth covered
    The prop overall is 8' 4.5"
    The diameter of the hub is 11.5 inches

    It has a Lang company logo (blue and gold) without the banners around the edges that say Lang

    Can anyone tell me how I can find out what sort of aircraft this prop was used on?

    thanks,
    Kevin Stone

    Does it look like this propeller?

    If so, the drawing number is S.E. 5090 (the SE stands for Steam Engineering, the Navy Bureau responsible for procuring propellers during WW1.)
