message: How is RB211 meant to be written? With or without the full stop (as in RB.211). Rolls-Royce don't use the . on their website.
:I think it should be without the stop. As you say R-R themselves don't use it, neither does Peter Pugh in "The Magic of a Name: The Rolls-Royce Story". Also, the Wiki article on the RB199 doesn't have a stop. On that basis I've removed them from this article.--JCG33 22:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: the 'RB' designation originally stood for Rover Barnoldswick but Rolls-Royce kept the designation system after they took over Rover's jet engine factory at Barnoldswick, the name Rolls-Royce fortuitously starting with the same initial letter as Rover.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.68.219 (talk) 18:50, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Someone (not sure who) has changed lots of words from UK English to US English spellings. The Manual of Style says that this should not be done unless there is a compelling reason to do so. What reason is there, particularly as the RB211 was a product produced by a British company? I vote we go back to UK English spellings. Any other views? --JCG33 22:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
