Semi-empirical method of using propeller strip theory to take account of mutual interference of body and tractor propeller; brief account of wind-tunnel experiments starting from original tests of family of propellers providing evidence for theory's accuracy; blunt spinner has slight superiority when propeller is far back; best position for housing propeller in nose; effect of body on torque coefficient of any propeller; best relative size of propeller and body; effect of excrescences.
