McCauley Metal Propellers, 1959 ad


 The company was started in 1928 in Dayton, where they started making propellers in wood. During WW2 they perfected the steel propeller and became one of the largest propeller manufacturers in the world. After WW2 they added forged aluminum propellers to their line. They were acquired by Cessna in 1960. Now, as part of Textron, they do complete variable pitch propellers and hubs as well as other aircraft components.  Though no longer based in Dayton, its good to see the company still around 90 plus years later doing what they do.   Propeller history video here.
