Naming - RB545 or RB.545?
[edit]Is the best name for this "RB545" or "RB.545" I don't know what "RB" is supposed to mean (Fedden Butler? 8-) ), but other Rolls engines seem to use the "RB.<number>" form. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:17, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- It originally stood for Rover Barnoldswick, from the location of the Rover site that was working on (and failing with) Whittle's early jet engines. This site was 'swapped' with Rolls-Royce for a Meteor tank engine factory and the initials are nowadays regarded as standing-for Rolls-Royce (or just Rolls) Barnoldswick. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.249.9 (talk) 12:02, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
