windscreen:

The adjustable windscreen was a work of art and has rightly become one of the most famous features of the 100. With a curved windscree - and with the general shape of the scuttle - it was not possible to incorporate a traditional fold-flat screen, still considered de rigueur on many sports cars. The solution was to mound the windscreen assembly on short, chrome-plated half pillars. By undoing a knurled nut either side, it was revealed that the actual windscreen was fitted on hinged links. The screen could then be lifted forward into a lower, more horizontal position. A pin in each bottom corner would locate the lowered screen, fitting into chrome-plated feet fixed n the joint between the wings and the shroud. Two springs were fitted to keep the lowered screen tensioned. The side pillars of the actual windscreen assembly were painted body colour, the glass bing fitted in a chrome-plated frame. The glass was always laminated; early on it may have been supplied by Lancegaye, later by Triplex. A heavy black rubber apron provided a seal to the scuttle in either position of the windscreen.
