	Bristol Aero Collection
		Bristol started building aero engines on the Filton site around 1920, but the line can be traced back to the Brazil-Staker motorcar manufacturer, who built Rolls-Royce engines under licence during World War I. The company was taken over by Cosmos Engineering, who built the Mercury and the Jupiter radial engines.
		The Bristol Pegasus is a 9 Cylinder Poppet-valve radial air-cooled engine.
		A scaled-down version of the engine, the Bristol Siddeley Gyron Junior, was used on the Bristol 188 stainless steel research aircraft, which was designed to investigate the effect of supersonic speeds on airframe structure.

	Bristol Taurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bristol had originally intended to use the Aquila and Perseus as two of its major designs in the 1930s, but the rapid increase in size and speed of aircraft in the 1930s demanded much larger engines than either of these.
		Unlike the earlier engines, where the sleeve valve was a new and untried design, the Taurus was fairly well understood and was delivered running at almost the same power it ended with, at 1,015 hp (760 kW).
		The first Taurus engines were delivered just before World War II opened, and found some use primarily in Bristol's own Beaufort torpedo bomber.

		Bristol Perseus engine The Perseus was a nine cylinder one_row radial aircraft engine produced by the Bristol Engine Company starting in 1932.
		Turboshaft engines are a type of jet engine, differing from the similar turboprop largely in name and use -- turboshaft engines are used in helicopters, the name referring to the way the torque of the engine drives the power shaft at 90 degrees to the engine mounting.
		The Pratt and Whitney JT8D jet engine was introduced by Pratt and Whitney in February 1964 with the inaugural flight of the Boeings 727.

	Bristol Aeroplane Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bristol Aeroplane Company (formerly British and Colonial Aeroplane Company) was a major British aircraft company which was nationalised in 1959 to become part of the British Aircraft Corporation.
		The Bristol Aeroplane Company began building primitive Bristol Boxkites in a former tram shed and became famous for the production of the war-time Blenheim and Beaufighter, the Brabazon airliner prototype, the Britannia and Freighter and the Belvedere and Sycamore helicopters.
		In 1959 Bristol was forced to merge with English Electric, Hunting Aircraft and Vickers-Armstrongs to form the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), later to become part of British Aerospace, now BAE Systems.

	MartMix - Bristol
		Bristol is one of the finest historic cities in the United Kingdom, and is a city I have been proud to live in since birth.
		The people of Bristol have always been inventive and enterprising, and one of the earliest relics of the area is a silver coin (see picture on the left) bearing the image of King Ethelred who died in 1016.
		Bristol is also close to two of Britain's motorways, the M4 and M5, with the M32 feeding in to the heart of the city.

	Pioneer Sleeve Valve Engine
		Thus, by the end of the piston engine era, sufficient experience of the sleeve and poppet valved kind had been obtained to allow meaningful comparative conclusions to be drawn between the two types.
		This arrangement was suitable for single-cylinder prototypes but for multi-cylinder engines the drive had to be from the side so a shaft running parallel to the cylinder bank and driven at half speed from the front or rear of the crankshaft was used.
		At least two of these engines were built and although they never got airborne or tested in combat, they did get an opportunity to display their wares and to be compared with contemporary engines by way of the 1914 Farnborough trials.

	Bristol Aquila - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Aquila was a 9-cylinder one-row radial aircraft engine produced by the Bristol Engine Company starting in 1934.
		The primary difference was in size, the Perseus was based on the 5.75 by 6.5 in (146 by 165 mm) cylinder used in the famous Jupiter engine, while the Aquila used a new and smaller 5 by 5.4 in (127 by 137 mm) sized cylinder.
		The first Aquila engine delivered a modest 365 horsepower (270 kW), which was hardly spectacular for an engine of this size.

	Bristol Motor Cars
		A frequent query is `why was the Bristol model that succeeded the Type 412 called the Type 603 ?,` - the answer given is that it was introduced in the 603rd year after the City of Bristol had been granted its Royal charter, which gave it the unique distinction of being "a County unto itself".
		It is perhaps typical of the company that just as other manufacturers were dropping names for numbers Bristol Cars Ltd. chose to drop the latter in favour of titles; all evocative of the aircraft that had been made by the Bristol Aeroplane Company.
		Bristol engines and gearboxes continued to be used however by such makes as; AC, Cooper, Frazer-Nash, Kieft, Lister, Lotus, Tojeiro and Warrior.

		In 1955 member companies of the British aerospace industry and government agencies undertook preliminary design work that led to the establishment in 1956 of a Supersonic Transport Aircraft Committee (STAC) to study the feasibility of an SST.
		Among the project studies looked at by STAC was the Bristol Type 198 &emdash; a design number covering several different aircraft configurations, of which the most favored came to be a slender delta-winged layout with eight engines and able to operate across the North Atlantic at twice the speed of sound.
		The engine companies were Rolls-Royce (which had meanwhile acquired the Bristol Siddeley engine company in which Concorde's Olympus engines originated) and Snecma.
