Subject: [FlyRotary] Thrust measure.
This is used to determine actual
propeller thrust during a dyno run.
The centerline shaft is a few thousandths
smaller than the pillow block holes. Thrust is transmitted through the bell
crank onto a plate on a bath room scale. Bell
crank is reversed for tractor installations.
