1905 WSR? What was the exact speed? Where was it set? Who drove?! Who built her (presumably not Napiers)? Trekphiler 13:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
I deleted "holds the title for the most powerful piston aircraft engine produced to this day". P&W R4360s & R3350 turbocompounds equalled it, so the Sabre isn't alone. Trekphiler 11:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
It is claimed here that the Deltic engines were very reliable. In the main article about Deltic engines they needed much maintenance. Although that being not directly opposite, this is indicating that there is something wrong here or in the other article.
There are some old archive photographs from Napiers here; [1] - including plenty of shots of the various engines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.44.121 ( talk) 22:34, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

No, she didn't.
It overpowered its Dunlops.

This article is currently titled Napier & Son, but the company's correct name was D. Napier & Son. Is there any reason this article should not be moved to the actual name? — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 18:27, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
Moved. No viable objections raised. — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 18:25, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
A good few images in this article, especially in the middle sections, are not wholly free but their copyright is dependent on national quirks. Should they be removed from here? — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 18:23, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, glad you are now content with the photo of Sir Alfred's car. I'm a big car fan. Over the years I have been to a lot of trouble to find good pictures of Napier cars. But I wonder if "best known for its luxury motor cars" might be overdoing it. Best known to rich Edwardians for cars might fit better. Having been in "the financial industry" I'm puzzled as to how that industry might have used machinery of any kind except of course for Napier personal chauffeured transport. I plan to amend the lead accordingly. Eddaido ( talk) 01:43, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
