• W4376543990 abstract "The Olympus 320 Engine: A Case Study in Design, Development, and Organizational Control JOHN LAW Recently I was on a flight at Heathrow Airport waiting behind Concorde for takeoff. The most impressive thing about this was the noise. As Concorde started its roll and the pilot switched on the af­ terburners, the windows of my aircraft crackled in protest and the whole airframe seemed to shake. And, as it gathered speed and moved away down the runway, I could see the reheat flames in the jetpipes. On a darkening winter afternoon at Heathrow the impression of power was overwhelming. This is an article, not about the Olympus 593, which actually powers Concorde, but about the engine that was supposed to power Concorde. Had Concorde been smaller (as was originally intended), it would have been fitted with the smaller Olympus 320. But in the design stage Con­ corde started to grow, so its engine was also redesigned to increase its thrust from a maximum of30,000 pounds to nearly 38,000 pounds. The afterburner was designed and built by the French aeroengine company, SNECMA, while the basic engine, the turbojet, was, like its predecessors, designed and produced at Bristol Siddeley Engines (BSE), a firm that was, as its name suggests, based in the British city of Bristol. Dr. Law is professor of sociology and director of the Centre for Technological and Organisational Practice at the University of Keele. His recent publications include (ed.) A Sociology of Monsters: Essays on Power, Technology and Domination (London, 1991) and (ed. with Wiebe Bijker) Shaping Technology—Building Society: Studies in Sociotechnical Change (Cambridge, Mass., 1992). His recent research includes a management ethnog­ raphy in a large scientific laboratory, the secondary analysis of the social and technical organization of the 15th-century Portuguese imperialist expansion, and a historical study of the design and development of a major military project, the TSR.2. The author gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Nuffield Foundation and the University of Keele, which made this study possible. He is also deeply grateful to Rolls Royce pic and the Rolls Royce Heritage Trust, both of which facilitated the research and made technical documents and illustrations available. Finally, he would like to acknowledge the substantial help received from a number of past and present employees of Rolls Royce pic and British Aerospace.© 1992 by the Society for the History of Technology.

At the time of the design of the Olympus 593, however, it was a proudly independent company, and the 593 was simply the most recent in a long series of Olympus designs—designs that had been under development since 1946. The first of the Olympus engines was successfully tested on June 13, 1950.' A version of it was put into production as the Olympus 101 to power one of the British nuclear bombers, the Vulcan B.l, in 1955 and went through a series of upratings and redesigns to be fitted to later versions of the Vulcan. And it was further uprated for supersonic flight—and fitted with a new fully modulated reheat system—to produce a substantially new engine, the Olympus 320, between 1959 and 1965. I have pieced together the story of the design and development of the Olympus 320 by looking at the available secondary material, by studying a series of archives made available by the Rolls Royce Heritage Trust and a number of individuals, and by interviewing some of those who were directly or indirectly involved in the design. I am deeply grateful to the latter, not only for their assistance and support, but also for the way in which they conveyed the frustration, the exhilaration, and the sheer drama of the engineering work that went into the design and testing of the Olympus 320. I hope that I have succeeded in some measure in re-creating that sense of drama, just as I hope, in addition, that I have succeeded in describing an episode of great historical importance to the development of postwar British aviation. I am, however, also..." @default.
