ORIGINAL X 2574 Re - Exhaust Valves Burning It seems to me that we should put in very large letters in the Instruction Book, even by adding another leaf to existing copies, the exact particulars that you have discovered with reference to the burning of exhaust valves. It is indeed fortunate that this failure does not cause disastrous breakdowns. [Signature] [STAMP: RECEIVED 26 JAN 1918] | ||
