re Bensport Dynamo Drive - LeC.3374.

We think provision should be made similar to the 20/25 HP. for a brake to be fitted on the dynamo pinion should it be found necessary, that is, the wheelcase should be made with slots so that the damper pads can be inserted at any time.

It has just come to our knowledge that many of the recent 20/25 HP. cars are now being sent out with this device.
