Under W.A. Robotham, the Chief Designer of Rolls-Royce's Chassis Division, they looked to resolve the problem of producing a more powerful engine for the Army's tanks. It was realised that, in order to be an effective front-line weapon, tanks would have to be much more heavily armoured and carry a bigger gun, yet still have the speed and agility of lighter vehicles.

This book provides an excellent insight into Rolls Royce development of the Merlin into world beating Meteor tank engine and all the associated problems of installing it into the tank that became the Cromwell.
