Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [Signature] [Handwritten Note] Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} I do not think we can say that the "chirping or pinking" can be avoided by giving it the intermediate position, it is considerably less but it is still there, It means that the engine will run a longer time before it is necessary to clean it.
