BENTLEY DYNAMOS.

The dynamos on all Bentley chassis we have examined after hard use have shewn evident signs of movement under the strap and on Lp{Mr Lappin}'s car 4.B.IV the dynamo moved round about 1".

The fixing of this dynamo is obviously inadequately rigid especially where high engine speeds are attained and we recommend that a modified more rigid support be instructed for test.
