Talk:Rolls-Royce Gem

Name
The 'Gem' name fits in with Bristol-Siddeley's naming scheme which it inherited from Metrovick, in that 'Gem' is the generic name for gemstones such as the Beryl and Sapphire.
 * It's actually a de Havilland name, beginning with a G. Did Metrovick have any involvement with it? Andy Dingley (talk) 10:36, 26 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Metrovick was long gone by the time of the BS 360, however their engine projects had been taken over by Armstrong Siddeley and I suspect after their subsequent merger with the Bristol Aeroplane Company, and later Rolls-Royce, the former de Havilland designers may have had a hand in the design.


 * Due to the rather convoluted merger process between the various UK engine and airframe companies the genesis of various engines or aircraft can be somewhat confusing, e.g., the last de Havilland design produced at Hatfield was in fact the BAe 146. Surprisingly both the 146 and the Trident were actually DH designs.
