Summary edit

Description

A marine-type propeller used on float plane tests designed at the British and Colonial Aeroplane Company by Henri Coandă, 1912.

The propellers were a development of a ship type screw and tests were carried out on a motor chassis fitted with a 50hp Gnome engine. The main Gloucester Road between Filton and Patchway was used as a test track, but the police objected to the disturbance to other road traffic, particularly horses.
