8th November 1934.

CADILLAC.

We have been held up during this morning to repair the Off Side down exhaust pipe. The flange had broken away. They are made similar to our old 20 HP. type, the flange being turned over, which will not stand the expansion and contraction. We have resumed running this afternoon.
