BARNATO'S CAR.
-------------

The suspension complaint, you will see, was due to a difference between production and experimental pieces. The servo judders were disconcerting as the trouble was worse than we have previously experienced on our cars. We are fortunate in being able to investigate it without having a lot of similar cases in customers' hands.
