[The 1931 booklet is drawn standing at an angle at the left, its cover showing riders on a road beneath the title, with a small sketch of a rider beside “Interesting Reading”. The two-tone Rossiter shoe, the quick-release clamp in two views and the Tuckaway bag with a rolled cape strapped on its hood illustrate the center column. The fractions in the weights and sizes are too small to resolve in this scan.]
