    The engine used in the Mustang fighter was the Rolls-Royce Merlin, the best piston
    engine of WW2. Pity they could not have acknowledged this. The engine was built
    at several plants in the UK and by Packard in the USA and was used in the Hurricane
    and Spitfire fighters (which jointly won the Battle of Britain) and in several other
    British WW2 aircraft including the Mosquito; Lancaster bomber; Halifax bomber.

    The transcription record beep tone triggered a slide projector or operator to push a corded button to advance. Also self contained suitcase sized units that when the lid was raised a screen unfolded, behind it was the record player and slide projector. The slideshow and recording may have been filmed on 16mm.

    Albeit hindsight is perfect, Packard should have taken that huge bundle of cash and built an overhead valve V-8.

      @@1940limited yep. That V8 had too much torque for the transmission and blew out the valve bodies. It was not a good transmission. The first Fordamatics weren't any better. They overheated to too insufficient cooling lines.
