Propeller markings meanings according to USAF Museum:
?? C.904 No. 8: Likely part of the drawing number or design batch.
?? 4.200 BHP: This represents engine speed specifications, as Siddeley-Deasy engines could produce 200-300 HP.
?? D.2750 / P.2550: These indicate the diameter and pitch of the propeller. "D" refers to 2750 mm (approximately 9 feet), aligning with the propeller’s 106-inch size.
?? Commonly used the abbreviation “DE. H.” for De Havilland in the WW1 era.
?? SIDDELEY-DEASY ENG.: Confirms it’s connected to Siddeley-Deasy, for World War 1 bombers.
