Preliminary note on deductions from the study of the Turbovisory Records from Burrard No.3 prepared by J.S. Hall. The note suggests that the problem is not one of the thermal instability, but of critical speed. A mechanism whereby the critical speed might develop is suggested, without being specific as to the exciting cause.
