Supplement to FLIGHT, JUNE 6, 1929 THE VALUE of STANDARDISATION Most of the important parts of the Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar, Lynx and Mongoose engines are interchangeable. On the 460-500 h.p. Jaguar, 215-230 h.p. Lynx and 130-150 h.p. Mongoose the cylinders, pistons, piston rings, gudgeon pins, gudgeon pin bushes, auxiliary connecting rods, valve gear and rockers, thrust race and carrier, main bearings and propeller boss, and many minor Retails are identical. On the Jaguar and Lynx engines, in addition to the above, parts, the oil pump, bearer plate, induction case, mastfr rod, front cover and timing gear are also interchangeable. Where several of these engines are simultaneously in service this high degree of standardisation effects great economy in spare parts, personnel, and care and mainten- ance charges. The 460-500 h.p. 14 cylinder Jaguar, 215-230 h.p. 7 cylinder Lynx and 130-150 h.p. 5 cylinder Mongoose in single, dual or triple form cover a very wide field of flying requirements.
