Geometric pitch of a propeller is defined as the
effective pitch plus slippage.
31
During operational check of an aircraft using hydromatic full-feathering propellers, the following observations are made: The feather button, after being pushed, remains depressed until the feather cycle is complete, then opens.

By slip rings and brushes.
36
What is the result of moving the throttle on a reciprocating engine when the propeller is in the constant-speed range with the engine developing cruise power?
Opening the throttle will cause an increase in blade angle.
