Shaping Propellers
9th January 1930: Workers at the Bristol Aeroplane Company works in Filton, Gloucester shaping and balancing propellers for the Bristol Bulldog, an all-steel fighter equipped with two Vickers guns synchronised with the engine. Each propeller is balanced to a fraction of an ounce to ensure smooth engine running. (Photo by Edward G. Malindine/Topical Press Agency/Getty Images)

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Preserving Precision: Workers at the Bristol Aeroplane Company in Filton, Gloucester meticulously shape and balance propellers for the iconic Bristol Bulldog fighter aircraft. Captured on 9th January 1930 by renowned photographer Edward G. Malindine, this print showcases the dedication and skill required in manufacturing these essential components. In an era when air transport was rapidly evolving, the all-steel Bristol Bulldog stood out as a formidable fighter equipped with two synchronized Vickers guns. Each propeller seen here is carefully balanced to a fraction of an ounce, ensuring smooth engine running during critical missions. The image captures a moment of focused concentration as male workers diligently mold each propeller into its precise shape. The symmetrical arrangement of objects adds to the aesthetic appeal while highlighting their role in creating powerful air vehicles that played a crucial part in Europe's aviation history. This photograph transports us back to a time when craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount in aircraft manufacturing. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and expertise found within British industry during this period. Edward G. Malindine's masterful composition not only documents an important chapter in engineering but also offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the artistry involved in shaping these vital components of early aviation.
