Will you please do what you can to urge Lucas to lose no time in the production of the new lenses and reflectors for the Bentley headlamps. Our experience with Lucas is that take an astonishing time to bring through anything new, and with Bentley chassis likely to be off test in the near future we cannot afford to give them very much time on this occasion. We are anxious about Lucas' ability to have headlamps with the improved lenses and reflectors available by the time the first batch of cars are ready for delivery. Hn. {F. C.
