And once again the Cambridge dictionary disagrees with Chris.
Propeller is spelled with double "l" for either American or British
English

He's apparently been following bad advice for 30 years. :-)

I shall have to correct you there, Jim, on a very important matter. :-)
About 30 years ago, an older colleague pointed out that most words
that end in ‘l’ have only a single ‘l’. I know that Apple and
Microsoft started some years ago to spell ‘instal” with 2 of them, but
that doesn’t mean that ‘propel’ needs another one to match.
Among my other campaigns, I aim to eliminate these daftnesses:
‘pre-order’; 'double-check’; ‘knock-on effect’; ‘pre-prepare’; and
several more that I cannot now remember . . .

My question is, "How do they propell the concrete from the
container?" I have never seen one tilted, but have not really
watched the pouring process. I have found no explanation online.
Perhaps there is a scraper system inside the drum?
