Was this really a technology used in the 1910's?

Projector main headlamps first appeared in 1981 on the Audi Quartz, the Audi Quattro-based concept car designed by Pininfarina for Geneva Auto Salon. Developed more or less simultaneously in Germany by Hella and in France by Cibié, the projector low beam permitted accurate beam focus and a much smaller-diameter optical package, though a much deeper one, for any given beam output. The version of the 1986 BMW 7 Series sold outside North America was the first volume-production auto to use polyellipsoidal low beam headlamps.

Unless hella is someones name or short for something, I have a hard time believing that "hella" created anything in the 1900'sMattZTS said:
I just have a hard time believeing the word Hella was around in 1899. Maybe because it's now a bastardized 80's word that's way overused still today.MattZTS said:
I have Hella's 100 Years book that was given to me by a Hella rep at the 1999 Essen Motor Show.
