This belongs in the instruments section as it is closely related to RPM indicator's listed in these pages.

RPM Counter drive(pg10 ins)

This is in superb boxed serviceable condition (subject to required check's and permits only opened for the picture and immediately resealed. These drives were connected to the Merlin by the normal direct drive cable that  powered the mechanical Rev counters .It generates an electric current and power's the electrical type RPM indicator. This  type of indicator was used where it was impractical to use direct drive cable's. They were used in all Mk's of Lancaster's and many other Bombers where the cockpit or engineers panel was far remote from the engine. It was actually used to power the RPM gauge in the rear cockpit of the very rare two seat Spitfire's. These do appear from time to time but never in this condition, this should end up on a flying aircraft.

These aircraft arrived just in time to take on the Focke-Wulf 190 "Tip and Run" fighter bombers that were attacking England's South Coast. Their impressive low-level performance was used to good effect.

Here we have a Rolls Royce Griffon valve.

The Griffon engine followed the Merlin into the Spitfire starting with the MK XIV and other front line WWII and post war aircraft. At 36 Litres it was considerably more powerful than the Merlin whilst being physically slightly bigger. The Griffon went on to power RAF aircraft into the 1950's notably the Avro Shakleton.

Shown above the Mk XIV Spitfire fitted with a Griffon engine , note the bubble canopy 5 blade prop larger tail and slightly extended nose to accommodate the extra power and size of the Griffon.

Spitfire/Hurricane engine plate (pg1 pwr)

This brass plate is an unused BLANK cockpit engine data plate typically fitted to large numbers of 2^nd WW British aircraft, especially in the early war days.  They were usually riveted to the cockpit side, alongside the pilot.  Often found in Battle of Britain Hurricane and Spitfire wrecks, these are highly collectable as well as forming an essential addition to a restoration or display.  The figures were usually engraved to suit the particular engine and application, but the boxes are BLANK in this case. These are NOT cheap screen printed reproductions but are etched and black printed in brass relief.

The successor of the great Merlin engine, the Rolls-Royce Griffon

Seen under the MK XIV Spitfire the first Mk of Spitfire to be fitted with the Griffon

Griffon development began in response to a request from the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy in 1938. Navy aircraft tend to be larger and heavier than their land-based counterparts; this obviously puts greater demands on the engine if performance is to be maintained. To meet this demand, Rolls-Royce went back to the concept of the Schnider Air Racing Trophy “R” engine. The Griffon, essentially a modernized Merlin, is a 60 degree V-12 with 2239 cu. in. displacement (the same parameters as the “R” and 36% greater displacement than the Merlin while having an only slightly larger frontal area.) However, this was a totally new engine, featuring many design updates and improvements over the Merlin.

Here we have the Con Rod From a Rolls Royce Merlin Engine.

In a reciprocating piston engine, the connecting rod or conrod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft. Together with the crank, they form a simple mechanism that converts reciprocating motion into rotating motion.

As a conrod is rigid, it may transmit either a push or a pull and so the rod may rotate the crank through both halves of a revolution, i.e. piston pushing and piston pulling.
