[Thursday] NC-4 Trans Atlantic Flight

[Ernie]

Take a look in the basement of the Mayes Building.  I seem to remember a complete prop driven aircraft generator somewhere on the premises.  Maybe upstairs over the shop is worth a look too.
Hope this helps

 In 
 1919 the Navy flew a Curtis amphibious airplane, NC-4 across
 the Atlantic. This 
 was a first.  The coils for the Radio Equipment were made
 in Providence by 
 Thomas P Giblin.
 
  
 
 I 
 came across this ebay item, the prop from the generator for
 the radio 
 equipment.  We have one of these generators without the
 prop in the 
 wireless building.
 
  
 
 Not 
 suggesting we buy it, just thought it was interesting. 
 Anyone remember a 
 small prop anywhere?
