Teletype Messages 
It is the desire of the company to keep unnecessary teletype messages to a minimum, especially messages which are not pertinent to our operations since this involves possible violation of FCC regulations. If it is necessary to order food from an intermediate station such as is often done on Flights 30 and 31, it is suggested that this be done when passing through the station northbound. Thus the order can be delivered upon arrival of the flight southbound and will make teletype messages unnecessary. When it is possible to have an adequate meal before departing upon a flight, it should not be necessary to order sandwiches by teletype. The teletype system is being monitored at the present time and it is requested that all pilots carefully consider messages before requesting that they be put on the teletype.

Printing System - DC-3
There has been some doubt as to the manner of operation of the priming system in the G-102s. When the primer is depressed with fuel pressure in the system, a constant flow of gasoline is delivered rather than a single charge.
