Edsel Ford touring the Rolls-Royce Merlin assembly line in building #22 circa 1941. Includes an image of the Merlin. The Rolls-Royce V-1650 Merlin engine. Possibly the most important piston aircraft engine of the second world war for the allies. Ford and GM both passed on manufacturing the very complicated powerplant. Only Packard would tackle the project. Eventually making 2,000 changes to the design to simplify the process of producing the engine. Almost all of the changes were also adopted by Rolls-Royce for their production lines. Packard was so adept they were making US and UK spec engines on the same line. After the war the engine gained more fame powering unlimited hydroplanes. Even to this day a quarter century after their use was mostly discontinued piston powered hydroplanes are still far more popular than their faster turbine powered comtemporaries.
