Rotol Ltd
Aerospace
Archive Drawings from 1942 to 1942
Rotol was formed in 1937 to incorporate hub & propeller development that Rolls-Royce and Bristol had been collaborating on. The name is a portmanteau of ROlls-Royce and BrisTOL. Rotol props were cutting edge at the time, they were equipped on the Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire, and many other aircraft during WWII. The company was acquired by Dowty Equipment in 1959 to become Dowty-Rotol. Dowty itself was sold in 2001 to Smiths Aerospace, a division of General Electric.
