[A catalog leaf printed on a mottled green ground, with one machine cut out and laid over it in
black and white. The bicycle is a fully equipped roadster: a long front mudguard with a color band,
a light-alloy chaincase, a rear carrier with two aluminum panniers, a dynamo headlamp on the fork
crown, a pump on the seat tube, a sprung leather saddle and a slightly raised bar with a bell.

Three models are described and only one is drawn, which is the economy of a late catalog. AC. 2 is
the specification in full. AC. 32 is the same machine on 650 half-balloon tires instead of 700 × 35.
AC. 55 is the same again with a step-through cradle frame, a ladies saddle, rubber pedals and a
skirt guard.

Everything about the specification is postwar. The enamel is metallic and offered in green, blue,
cherry and pearl blue with matching lug color; the rims are chromed rather than half-nickeled; the
mudguards and the chaincase are light alloy; the brakes run on steel cable in colored outers; and
electric lighting is standard rather than an extra. That is the equipment of a French roadster of
the 1950s, and the sheet is filed to that decade on the strength of it.

The page prints no year and no price.]
