I don't know whether you will consider it advisable to take up the side play in the spring shackles in order to avoid the rattles; I see no objection to doing this, in fact I think it would be a good thing because we could see how long it was before it commenced to rattle again.

We attach herewith a copy of a note from CJ. From this he is evidently under the impression that there is only one Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) car running in France.
