Professor E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. Dodds.

Professor Dodds has on order a new 4¼-litre Bentley, the chassis of which, No. B.34-GA, is now at Park Ward's works having the body mounted.

The Professor tells us he has heard from a director of Lucas that a new and improved type of P.100 headlight is available and he asks that his chassis should be fitted with the improved lamps.

Lucas, London, say they have no knowledge of any new model P.100 headlamp and can give us no information.

Do you know anything about it, please?
