Pitch abouttwice the diameter. 486. SCREW blades. Case type. W^ith outwardthrust. Narrow blades for high two and a half times the of blades curved. 487. Plan of propeller in the plane of rotation. 488. SHEET METAL PROPELLER. Davis type. The bladesare made of boiler plate, or of plate steel, of equal thickness through-out. They are cut from a fiat plate,the holes for the reception of the pro-peller shaft made, and then either byhammer, rolls, or formers curved tothe proper shape. Each blade isprecisely alike, so that if one should bebroken a dupHcate could be readilyfitted. A collar is secured upon the shaft,and the inner legs of the blades bearfirmly against it. The sleeve, B, keepsthe legs of the blades at the properdistance apart, and the collar, C, andnut secures all in place. To hold the blades in position aga
