Levasseur propeller drawings

mike celeskey · 01-23-2019, 08:34 PM

This is actually my first post and my hope is that someone will be able to help. I am building a Levasseur prop for a friends 1/3 scale Nieuport 28 C1. There is a lot of great information on the logo found here, but I would really like to see a drawing of this prop. Even a 3-view would be helpful! I have the ability to build from photographs, but would prefer a drawing.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

As you may have already found out, actual drawings of early propellers are almost non-existent, and it seems as if a lot of people (myself included) have been looking for them for quite some time.

The Levasseur prop for a Nieuport 28 was Serie #577, if that's of any help.
