| TBB34/L21212. February 21st.1912. Ref. N1/B3212. Re Engine Vibrations. Mr Platford has already reported on this matter. With reference to:- (1) Now it is desired that extra power is rather to be prefered to greater smoothness of running. Also engine here chirped badly because magneto was rather early. It was set right by Mr Platford. (2) Mea Magneto has poor contact breaker, otherwise I like it, if the makers make this part better we may decide to use this as our standard. F.H.R.
