Elica aeronautica per motore Bristol Jupiter XI F
Regno Unito, anni '30 (h. cm 359) (difetti)

Elica in legno laminato con bordo d'attacco rivestito in ottone, verniciata in grigio-verde nella parte del mozzo. Sono presenti numerose marcature: "JUPITER XI F", "HP 42", "DRG No Z289/5", dalla parte opposta "D3590" (diametro), "P3200" (passo) "AC42633A", "APL/36" e "IAL 823"


L'iscrizione JUPITER XI F identifica la compatibilità con il motore radiale Bristol Jupiter XI F, uno dei propulsori aeronautici britannici più diffusi tra la fine degli anni Venti e i primi anni Trenta, impiegato su numerosi velivoli militari e civili.

La sigla HP 42 rimanda verosimilmente al celebre Handley Page H.P.42, quadrimotore da trasporto della Imperial Airways introdotto nel 1931, equipaggiato con motori Bristol Jupiter. Sebbene l'attribuzione definitiva richieda il riscontro dei registri di produzione del costruttore dell'elica, le marcature e la configurazione costruttiva risultano coerenti con un'elica destinata a tale famiglia di propulsori

Aircraft propeller for Bristol Jupiter XI F engine. United Kingdom, 1930s (h. 359 cm) (defects)



Laminated wooden propeller with brass-covered leading edge, painted grey-green around the hub area. Numerous markings are present: “JUPITER XI F”, “HP 42”, “DRG No Z289/5”; on the opposite side “D3590” (diameter), “P3200” (pitch), “AC42633A”, “APL/36” and “IAL 823”.

The inscription “JUPITER XI F” identifies compatibility with the Bristol Jupiter XI F radial engine, one of the most widely used British aircraft engines of the late 1920s and early 1930s, employed on numerous military and civilian aircraft.

The marking “HP 42” most likely refers to the famous Handley Page H.P.42, a four-engine Imperial Airways transport aircraft introduced in 1931 and equipped with Bristol Jupiter engines. Although definitive attribution requires comparison with the manufacturer’s production records, the markings and construction features are consistent with a propeller intended for this family of engines.

La coppa fu assegnata in occasione dell'Hercules Cycle Roller Racing Contest, competizione promozionale organizzata dalla Hercules Cycle & Motor Co. e disputata su rulli, disciplina molto popolare nel Regno Unito tra gli anni Venti e Trenta, nella quale i ciclisti gareggiavano su biciclette fisse montate su rulli, spesso davanti al pubblico durante esposizioni, fiere e manifestazioni sportive. L'edizione di Oxford del dicembre 1936 rientrava nelle iniziative promosse direttamente dalla casa costruttrice per sostenere il ciclismo agonistico e pubblicizzare i propri modelli.

The cup was awarded on the occasion of the Hercules Cycle Roller Racing Contest, a promotional competition organised by Hercules Cycle & Motor Co. and held on rollers, a discipline that was very popular in the United Kingdom during the 1920s and 1930s. Cyclists competed on stationary bicycles mounted on rollers, often in front of audiences during exhibitions, fairs and sporting events. The Oxford edition of December 1936 was part of the initiatives promoted directly by the manufacturer to support competitive cycling and advertise its models.
