Complaint Case,
re: Park Ward & Co's 25/30 Trials Lim:
Chassis GUL-36.

I had one or two runs on this car the other day and think the steering is far too uncertain to be on the road for demonstration.

One gets used to it, but the usual customr only handles it for a short distance and does not have that opportunity.

Personally I should condemn it in any case.
