Negative Creep
Staff Sergeant
Please help settle a discussion I was having with someone on another forum. Regarding the forced induction of the Merlins, it is my understanding that they are essentially the same as turbochargers fitted to modern engines. However, I've always been under the impression that the contemporary name for them was a turbo-supercharger, hence I would be correct in saying the Merlin was supercharged. He disagrees and thinks it was always referred to as a turbo. So basically, who's right?
