More figures for the relevant Merlins can be found in this table.
Just to explain a bit more:
The third column shows figures for take-off (Sea Level) power/ take-off r.p.m/max boost at S/L
The fifth column shows figures for normal continuous climb (rated) power/normal climb r.p.m/max boost at normal (rated) power/rated altitude. (All at 'medium' supercharged level, which I take to mean low gear)
The sixth column shows the same figures at 'fully' supercharged level, which I take to mean high gear.
Columns eight and nine give the same measures for the engine running at maximum power ('combat' or '5 minute' rating). Column eight gives the low gear figures for combat rating, column nine the high gear figures.
Where one mark of Merlin has two rows of figures, it's because the engine was run on two different fuels. The octane rating of the fuel used in the test is given in column 2.
