28th German Military & Propaganda auction
Lot 479:
Sensenich Test Club Propeller – TC0140 T8188. Test Club” is the generic name given to a propeller used for ground running and bench testing purposes. They are essential when running an aircraft engine (especially on air cooled engines) as they provide both essential loading to the engine and also cylinder head cooling. They can also be sized and pitched so that the engine under test cannot exceed its rated rpm or for a specific performance curve. Occasionally the aircraft propeller itself can be used as a test club (Often a cropped version of) but a test club cannot be used as an aircraft propeller. As you can imagine that makes things far rarer than aircraft propellers themselves as they are only really used by aircraft engineers. We believe it’s from around the 40s.It would look fantastic in any setting related to aircrafts.All items for this auction will be shipping from Europe. Shipping cost $20 it doesn’t matter how many items you win.
