BTW, if anyone is wondering about the part 9-60033.30 having the same details as the 9-60032.30 see note 1, which says the 33.30 part has the fittings for a de-icing pipework.
That is usually just a slinger ring on the spinner backplate and tubes to the blade root area so that de-icing fluid can be fed to the blade, where it spreads out along the blade
during flight.

I finally finished the display fixture for the supercharger impellers and installed it in the museum today. I used the impellers as a reason to write some basic information about supercharging for our museum visitors. The impeller display is part of our overall DB-601 engine display. Since the knowledgeable and helpful members of this forum have contributed al lot of information to the 601 display, I thought you you might like to see what all this looks like now. 2 pictures are attached; one of the new impeller display, and one of the whole 601 engine display. Note that, unlike other museums, our visitors can walk right up to and touch a lot of our artifacts, and even pick some of them up, if they so desire. Thanks again to all of you who have helped me.

That looks really good Larry!
I think that the effective displays and accurate identification of your relics really stands out! If those parts were just laying about as unknown and unidentified parts, the effect would be
very much less. Additionally, I think that the fact that your collection is the actual parts from the technical evaluation unit makes it much more historically important.
Please keep coming back for more information, at the moment I am hoping to be able to provide you with a lot more detail about the VDM prop hubs that we have seen being cleaned-up!
Cheers
