Hello There
I am trying to trace any information about my Grandfathers reputedly being the first man to manufacture a four bladed wooden propeller.
His name was William Samuel Browne.
Either before or during the first world war, he was an engineer patternmaker, like my father, and he was commisioned to make the propeller.
I know that one of the West London (Chiswick, Hammersmith, Brentford areas) newspapers ran an article with a picture on the subject, but I am having trouble finding it.
Does anyone have any information or suggestions on how to proceed further with my quest.
Regards
Chris
