Abstract
A simple and accurate instrument has been designed and fabricated to measure the pitch and blade thickness at various points of a marine screw propeller for arriving at a correct shape and for proper balancing of the propeller. The instrument can be utilized by pattern makers, finishing shops, boat yards, etc. With existing instruments, this measurement is very difficult and cumbersome.
