Unfeathering is accomplished by holding the feathering button in the OUT position for about 2s. This creates an artificial underspeed condition at the governor and causes high-pressure oil from the feathering pump to be directed to the rear of the propeller piston. As soon as the piston has moved outward a short distance, the blades will have sufficient angle to start rotation of the engine. When this occurs, the unfeathering switch can be released and the governor will assume control of the propeller. 2, record 1, English, - unfeathering

The commercially-available sling pump consists of a helically-wound hose within a drum-shapedbody that has a propeller at the front. A swivel coupling at the front end of the pump allows the body of the pump to rotate freely without affecting the discharge pipe. Water flowing past the propeller at the front of the unit sets the entire body of the pump in a slow rotational motion. Alternating slugs of air and water enter the intake of the spiral hose and are forced along the pipe by the rotational motion of the pump. The sling pump can also be powered by the wind, instead of flowing water. Because the swivel coupling is the only mechanical component comprising the pump, it is virtually maintenance-free. 2, record 4, English, - sling%20pump

La pompe à hélice, ou pompe P, est souvent considérée comme parfaitement adaptée à un grand nombre d'applications nouvelles. Un nombre croissant d'entre elles servent à l'irrigation et au drainage. Elles permettent aussi de réguler le niveau de l'eau des canaux. Beaucoup d'installations en sont équipées et on leur assigne des tâches de tout ordre - de l'irrigation des champs au pompage des eaux en cas de pluie torrentielle ou d'inondation. Dans le nord de la France et dans le delta du Pô en Italie, nos pompes P servent à irriguer pendant l'été des terres agricoles [...] 2, record 4, French, - pompe%20%C3%A0%20h%C3%A9lice

La mise en drapeau est assurée par le moteur de changement de calage lui-même. Dans le cas des hélices électriques, ce moteur est généralement survolté pendant cette phase afin de diminuer le temps de passage. Les hélices hydrauliques nécessitent un moteur électrique entraînant une pompe (pompe de mise en drapeau) pour suppléer la pompe du régulateur.

Similarly, the output of the pilot valve to either low or high pitch is routed through the feather valve. When the valve is positioned for feathering, the pump manifold is connected directly to the high-pitch line. This isolates the propeller lines from the rest of the control system and closes off the standby pump bypass. 2, record 7, English, - increase%2Dpitch%20line

The NTS-feather valve responds to either an NTS signal [negative torque signal] or a feather signal by porting all fluid pumped by the hydraulic pumps to increase beta (blade angle) passages.
