Turner said he would make some repairs on his shop and as soon as they were completed, he planned another assault on the 10-hour 19 minutes record of Jimmy Haizllp of St. Louis.

I didn't know whether the motor was shaking loose or whether my pro-pellor was weakening, but I couldn't go on and of course coming down spoiled all chances of breaking Haizlip's fine mark. "When I landed I found that the vacuum pump, which operates the blind flying instruments, had become frozen and this was responsible for the vibration.

A new pump will be installed and when this is completed I will begin plans for another flight. There was no damage to either ship or motor outside that caused in the vacuum pump."
