20 HP. STARTER ON CAR AT WW. X.5620. X.5650. X7650 X7630.

The starter on the above car made a distressing noise when used recently.

If this is not the standard starter I should like it changed as soon as possible.

If it is of the standard type then something should be done to find out the reason for the trouble.
