Hi 41Sqn_Banks,
Merlin/102: To make provision for increased ratio starter gearing the slipping torque of the starter clutch has been increased by extra spring pressure.
Merlin/123: Introduction of epicyclic type of starter motor gears having a 94.6 to 1 turning ratio.
A bit off topic but flip back one page in your 41 Sqdn ORB and check out Spitfire Alteration 1/36 - Armour Plating
