So for this one, I'll try my "first glance" guesses which seem to be the only time I get anything:

1. PROP

Clues 2 and 5 are correct from these guesses.

So what could it be? This is the front, the engine and propeller, of a 1930's(?) radial-engined airplane. What does the arrow point to? Cooling FINS or does it just mean something to do with the engine such as FUEL or "????" ? HEAD as in cylinder head?
