20/25HP. EXP. LIMOUSINE
PARK WARD & CO.

We visited Park Ward & Co. last Thursday
They have received the subframe, and have commenced to construct the body. We noticed that a heelboard was in position, but it did not appear to us to be the one indicated on our N. scheme for use with the aluminium cover over the universal joint extending from the heelboard forward to the rectangular section cross member. We are very anxious to have this fitting on the subframe in question and would be glad if you would arrange to have the necessary parts fitted at Messrs Park Ward before the body gets too far.
