Incredible. So much going on in such a small cramped space. The guns required absolute precision and he achieved it. Armstrong was famous for work the world over.

Rolls Royce Cylinders at the Elswick Works

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.
