Jones Circuit Breakers and Fuses A number of complaints were recently recorded on the Form 0-1 stating that a parti-cular item was inoperative. Subsequent investigation showed that a circuit breaker had fallen or that a fuse had blown. All pilots are requested investigate fuses and circuit breakers themselves and make the necessary adjustments unless they reason to believe that it would be unsafe to do so. It is of the utmost importance that all items on the aircraft be in working condition if at all possible and if such action is not taken by the flight crews the situation might occur when they would wish they had taken the necessary action to correct the faulty condition. 11-9-48 G. R. Jonas Vacation Preferences It is requested that the vacation preference form which were distributed October 6, 1958 be returned to this office by November 15, 1948. BERMUDA DIVISION 11-9-48 G.R. Jonas R-2000 Power Settings In the hope reducing bearing difficulties on the R-2000 engines, you are hereby requested to increase cruising RPMs to 1900 at 600 h.p. Since this h.p. is the same as is presently being used, the slight increase in RPM will result in a negligible increase in fuel consumption. Bulletin NO, 10 in the Aircraft Operating Manual will not be revised accordingly until the results of this new cruising have been studied. 11-10-48 G. R. Jonas All Bermuda flights will operate into and out of Gate 15 effective Thursday, November 11, 1948. SYRACUSE DIVISION 11-9-48 G. R. Jonas Washington Maintenance It is requested that whenever it is expected that your aircraft will require maintenance at Washington of this fact as early as possible so that mechanics can be available upon the arrival of your flight. *****
