Re Front Spring Shackles. - X.433

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
We have previously written you re the 12/6/13. following matter, but Mr Johnson wishes that the following extract from Capel's report re chassis No.1560 - R.P.Richards Esq.- should be communicated to you.

"The owner says springing has never been "right. He says he is much surprised "at us allowing .01" to .014" of slack "in our spring bushes, and says Government Inspectors will not allow any more than .004" "on their engines, which are subject to "as much water and dirt."
