Talk:Rolls-Royce Limited

message: Does anyone else find the car images overpowering?! It is difficult to tell that they made aircraft engines as well. Needs a trim down I think. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 19:30, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's got even sillier lately, new images have added a raft of whitespace. Is there not a Rolls-Royce car article? This article is about the company (that also made a lot of aero engines). Appears to be out of control. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 22:18, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I propose that the article Rolls-Royce of America be merged into Rolls-Royce Limited because Rolls-Royce of America doesn't seem to be significantly separate from Rolls-Royce Limited to be worthy of its own article. It would also be fairly trivial to incorporate the information contained in the Rolls-Royce of America article into this article as a new section. Mrmatiko (talk) 13:09, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I have been alerted to more stuff that I think should be in this article by finding this 1964 item (while looking for something else)Rolls-Royce Engine In New B.M.C. 112 mph Saloon. The Times, Wednesday, Aug 19, 1964; pg. 5; Issue 56094 from which I quote:"MULTI-FUEL ENGINE. . .  On the engine side of the factory production of the "K" range of multi-fuel opposed piston engines is also being expanded. These extremely powerful compact six-cylinder units, which will run on four different kinds of fuel, from 80 octane petrol to paraffin, were introduced 14 months ago as a future replacement for the "B" range of Rolls-Royce engines, which at present power all the wheeled vehicles of the British Army and are in use by 21 governments.The outstanding advantages of the Rolls-Royce "K" engine are its small number of moving parts and longer working life. It has no valves, springs, rockers, tappets, push-rods, camshaft or cylinder head so servicing can be cut to a minimum."''
Elsewhere I have found the statement that more than 30,000 of those "B" type engines have been made so they are noteworthy for Rolls-Royce
I don't know anything of the subject so I can only draw it to some generous person's attention for addition to the article. Eddaido (talk) 21:16, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: RR engines were also used in the Austin Champ and several others such as the Alvis Saladin, FV432, and similar. Then there's the Rolls-Royce Meteor which was a tank engine.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 15:58, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The article for the Rolls-Royce Phantom II lists the Continental version of the car as having a short wheelbase but doesn't say exactly what it was. There are two different lengths given for the Phantom II's wheelbase: 144 inches and 150 inches. I'm not going to automatically assume it was 144, and the section describing the Continental makes it sound like it was probably shorter than that. Does anyone know what it was? (I'm asking the question here because this Talk Page gets a lot more traffic.) --RThompson82 (talk) 08:28, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

message: A little research suggests the total Rolls-Royce areo engine production in WW1 was 7398 engines.  As something like 100000 Gnome et Rhone engines of various types were built (mostly under license)(*), and around 50000 Hispano-Suiza V8 (the most, I think, of a single design), the statement that Rolls Royce made "around half the engines used by the Allies" cannot be supported.
(* even if one takes out the Gnome engines built under license in Germany, the number built for the allied side far exceeds the number of Rolls-Royce engines)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:102:B920:89E8:BAEF:9AD3:13F6 (talk) 22:31, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
