Morning sparkey.......if by example the prop was designated 4" x 5" LH  %) ..it would be 4" diameter x 5" pitch and left handed

The other things needed are the blade profile and the mounting.......there is a WEB page mentioned on here that has images of different styles and steam is rather unique in its pitch ratio and blade profile..... Derek
