Bottom photo looks like a 53? Their rotor blades were pressurized with nitrogen. At the root of each blade was a pressure gage, low or no pressure during preflight inspection meant the blade was compromised, no fly until replacement. Always wondered why they all didn't do that.... would have made working on those 46's a little easier.
