Customer: Ventspils Port Authority

A propeller, cast in bronze, weighing 2.5 tons and a diameter of 3.4 m, was found near Ventspils on a sunken German ship and raised to the surface. Our task is to place it on the observation deck in the form of the back of the ship and make it rotate again at a speed of 1 turnaround per minute. Moreover, when the visitor turns the helm upstairs, the speed of rotation of the propeller should double. There are windows on the sides of this object and through these windows the tourist sees an imitation of the movement of the engine pistons.
