I saw this blade alone, or something damn close to it for sale a few months ago on marketplace. I thought it was for some old washing machine. I guess not. I did a brief scan in google patents back then for the blade. I guess I am going to have to do a more involved scan. This is in IL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Notice the opposed wing castings. One has a leading sharp tip, the other rounded. Walter Upson designed blades for GE and Torrington using what I would call a fluid principle. The effect the blade would have in water. Like a boat prop. I am not basing this on my knowledge or education, just how I reason it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
