[A single sheet headed by the name in large bold script with a long swash underline and the two script lines below it, with a pictured cycle head badge at each upper corner: a shaped badge lettered HETCHINS on a scroll above a shield bearing a cross, flanked by two supporters, with CYCLES on a scroll below and a winged roundel enclosing a small diamond-frame bicycle, lettered around its edge. Below the heading are halftone photographs of 15 individual frame lugs and fittings, each with deeply cut ornamental windows, curls and points, arranged in groups with a script name in quotation marks under four of them. The upper left group of three is captioned “Nulli Secundus” and the upper right group of three “Experto Crede”; a pair at left center is captioned “Magnum Opus”; a socket with a binder eye and a round boss near the center of the lower half is captioned “Magnum Bonum”, with further uncaptioned lugs at either side. The bottom row, also uncaptioned, shows two fork crowns with long pierced or flame-shaped points and a bottom bracket shell with ornamented socket edges. A horizontal fold crease crosses the sheet at about mid-height, between the “Nulli Secundus” and “Magnum Opus” groups.]
