Talk:Rolls-Royce Avon

message: The article notes "Originally known as the AJ.65 for Axial Jet, 6,500 lbf which was designed by Alan Arnold Griffith". This statement seems unclear to me. It could be read that AA Griffith designed the axial-flow design, which is at least arguably true. But it could also be read that it means that AA Griffith actually designed the AJ.65, which I find somewhat more difficult to believe. Would the author of this statement clarify, and perhaps cite?

replies: text: A. A. Griffith joined Rolls-Royce in 1939 and was eventually Chief Scientist to the company. It was a technical memorandum by him that led to the design of the AJ65/Avon.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.24.208.47 (talk) 09:46, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Griffith designed the AJ.65 (before it received the "Avon" name) at Derby but it was left to Hooker's team at Barnoldswick to make it into a usable engine, which as-designed, it wasn't. This is what led to Hives and Hooker falling out, as Hooker thought he was being blamed for the Avon's problems, which were none of his making. In addition, Hives had promised Hooker that he would be RR's Chief Engineer and Hooker felt he was getting older and could see no sign of that happening.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.173.74 (talk) 11:13, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

message: A June 2014 Rolls Royce newsletter covered the 50th anniversey of the Avon as a industrial engine.  Transcanada Pipelines has the world's largest fleet of stationary Avons (84 of them), and the Avon that ran continously for 476 days was in the Middle East.

message: The article says: "Early Marks had 8 canular combustion chambers where as later Marks had can-annular." but I thought canular == can-annular. I guess the former might be just "can" type. Or? --marsian 13:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
