RECORDS NOT AIMED AT
' ♦ STATEMENT ABOUT THE QUEEN MARY LONDON. September 4. "The Queen Mary has been designed and built to take passengers across the Atlantic quickly and comfortably. If she breaks the record, we shall be pleased, but there is no question of the ship having been designed specially.ior record-break-ing." With this statement, officials of the owners and builders of the Queen Mary parried comparisons with the French liner Normandie at a newspaper inspection at Clydebank. Yet the impression remained that the giaiit liner will definitely be "Queen of the Atlantic" when she takes the sea early in 1936. The builders are not worrying about vibration, of which the Normandie's passengers have complained. "Vibration tests will not be necessary,'' was the reply to a question on that point.
