There is no relation between the two. Also:
"A recent increase in the number of engine failures, due to failure of bearings, is an indication that some pilots are overstepping the engine limitations laid down in the Pilot's Handbook."
Doesn't sound like exceeding the limitations was a tolerated behavior in 1940.
