Rolls Royce Kestrel Supercharger(pg2 Pwr)
The Kestrel was a 700 hp
(520 kW) V-12 aircraft engine from Rolls Royce, their first
cast-block engine and the pattern for most of their future
piston-engine designs most famously the Merlin. One key
advance in the Kestrel was the use of a pressurized cooling
system.
The engine was first produced in
1927 at 450 hp (340 kW), which soon improved in the IB model
to 525 hp (390 kW). This model saw widespread use in the
famed Hawker Hart family that
dominated British air power during the early 1930s.
However it was not long
before line improvements increased power dramatically; the V
model provided 695 hp (520 kW) at 3,000 rpm with no basic
change to the design, while the XVI used in the
Miles Master delivered 745 hp
(560 kW). Messerschmitt also tested its first
BF 109 prototypes with Kestrel engines in 1935.
Increased
availability of higher octane aviation fuel in the late
1930s allowed the engine to be boosted to higher power
levels without suffering from ping, and the Kestrel
eventually topped out at 1,050 hp in the XXX model of 1940.
This is a super rare
probably unique supercharger from an early Rolls Royce
Kestrel.
This
supercharger was saved from an engine that was broken for
scrap in the 1970s and so is straight and has not been
crashed. The vanes in the supercharger turn freely and it
should be serviceable subject to the required checks.

Rolls Royce Merlin thermostat (pg2 pwr)
Here is a Merlin thermostat as you might guess its quite
a large piece. Approximately 12" long with 2 1/2" pipe
connections. I am not sure if this design was fitted to all
aircraft with the Merlin, currently I can only find one
drawing of it fitted to a P 51 Mustang. I have the manual
for the MK XIV with the griffon and although you can see it
in place its not quite the same design as might be expected.
It has its internal parts but have no way to test if its
working.

Merlin Con Rod (pg2 pwr) 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

Merlin Two Speed supercharger (pg2 pwr)
Here we have a Merlin
two speed supercharger fitted to the Merlin from the MK XX
onwards as you can see its in relic condition but is very
useful for a static rebuild or of coarse a great collectable
in its own right.
The
drive for improved high altitude performance gave rise to
the Merlin X, the first mark to incorporate a
two-speed
supercharger in place of the previous single speed unit. The
similar Merlin XX gained significant performance benefits
from Stanley Hooker's work on improving the aerodynamic
efficiency of the supercharger. The XX series and its
developments primarily saw service on the Hurricane II and
Mosquito in Fighter Command, as well as being widely used on
a number of Bomber Command aircraft, notably the
Mosquito,
Lancaster, and Merlin Halifax

The de Havilland
DH.98 Mosquito was a British multi-role combat aircraft with
a two-man crew that served during and after the Second World
War. It was one of few operational front-line aircraft of
the era constructed almost entirely of wood and was
nicknamed "The Wooden Wonder".The Mosquito was also known
affectionately as the "Mossie" to its crews. Originally
conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, the Mosquito was
adapted to roles including low to medium-altitude daytime
tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day
or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike
aircraft, and fast photo-reconnaissance aircraft. It was
also used by the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC)
as a fast transport to carry small high-value cargoes to,
and from, neutral countries, through enemy-controlled
airspace. A single passenger could be carried in the
aircraft's bomb bay, which was adapted for the purpose
