I always try to slip-in a little bit about
Packards whenever Merlins come up....
Packard's main contributions to Merlin
Development, which RR eagerly adopted,
were in the areas of supercharging and
in making the engines mass-produceable,
more durable and far easier to service.
People tend to forget, but there is a lot
of Packard in ALL Merlins made after they
got involved -- not just the ones produced
in Detroit.
Griffon engine benefitted from this input
as well!
