Default reading Prop Specs

Hi,

I would like to learn about props and what the different units mean.

For example, what does "8x6" mean when the plans for a plane call for an "8x6 prop"? What are the different parts to the prop? For example a wing has an LE, chord, etc. What does a prop have for its elements? How do you size a prop for a particular plane. . . . How do you compare props. . . . .

Are there any web pages that have this type of info?

Thankyou.
