| - 2 - We will in the meantime check the timing etc. of this engine and see whether we can obtain any improvement in this respect without materially sacrificing its performance. We suggest that Messrs. Barkers should deal with the instrument board fixing, which at present shows up the vibrations, also various fittings require damping, in fact we feel the whole instrument board might be damped to advantage.
