    Oh wow! I didn't read the text and looked at the image first - I thought they'd been making canon balls up until that date. Haha!

Rolls Royce Cylinders at the Elswick Works

from North East Museums

  • optimal chicken said:
    I hadn't realised this fact either! I'd assumed (never do that..) Rolls Royce took care of their own things elsewhere and not within another makers factory. These engine blocks may not have ended up as wartime equipment either - Rolls Royce were, and still are, renowned for their reliability. The engines could also have ended up in shunting locos or even rare items such as emergency winders for mines should their headgears fail.
