Dear Maddocks, We should like for you to bring back as much information as possible with regard to the rattle on 4-Goshawk-11. We should like, for instance, to know the approximate slack between the dynamo pinion and the cam-wheel, i.e., apart from the slack which will be in the serrated drive - you should be able to observe this by removing the brake blocks and watch the movement when taking the slack up in either direction. We should also like to have particulars of petrol and oil consumption on that car. Also, whether the sparking plugs have given any trouble. Yours truly, | ||
