Armstrong Siddeley
W O remained as an engineer at Aston Martin-Lagonda for a time, then he moved to Armstrong Siddeley, where he designed another twin-overhead-cam 3-litre engine before retiring.
However it is reported that W O 's team's, it included Donald Bastow, responsibilities for the Sapphire project which also extended to the chassis, ceased in 1949 and as it eventuated they provided not a lot more than the detailed inspiration for the production version of the Sapphire announced in October 1952. The production cost of W O 's exact engine design was considered to be too high. Nevertheless W O 's involvement maintained the considerable respect of contemporary engine designers and manufacturers for him and the final Sapphire product.

Famous quotes containing the word armstrong:
“But Jonnë had a bright sword by his side,
And it was made of the mettle so free,
That had not the king stept his foot aside,
He had smitten his head from his faire bodde.”
—Unknown. Johnie Armstrong (l. 45–48)
