Quelques principales productions HUTCHINSON
[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. A plate of seven Hutchinson products, each identified in a short caption beside its drawing. A bicycle tire (enveloppe pour bicyclette) in 700 x 32 C, given also as 27 x 1 1/4, with a black tread (chape) and white or colored sidewalls (flancs). A black moped (cyclomoteur) tire named VROOM, reinforced (renforcé), in 2 x 19, with a block tread (chape à pavés). A tire for the mini-vélo in 20 x 1,75, with a black tread and white or colored sidewalls. A moped tire in 23 x 2,00 with a black tread and white sidewalls. A racing tubular (boyau compétition), the CORSA LEGGERO, made in the handmade style (façon main). A vulcanized tubular (boyau vulcanisé) for sport and training, of the SPRINT type. A drive belt (courroie) of the VENTILAIGLE type for mopeds.]
[Seven detailed line drawings fill a ruled frame under the italic title. Down the left side, from the top: a cutaway section of a bicycle tire with a fine diamond tread, its sidewall lettered 27 x 1 1/4 and HUTCHI where the section ends; a mini-vélo tire with a chevron tread, an eagle emblem and 20 x 1.75 on its sidewall; a tubular lettered HUTCHINSON and MILANO with smaller words too fine to read; and a second tubular lettered HUTCHINSON SPRINT MILANO MADE IN ITALY, both tubulars drawn with their open ends toward the lower right. Down the right side: a moped tire with a heavy block tread and the word VROOM in an oval on its sidewall, a moped tire with a ribbed tread and 23 x 2.00 on its sidewall, and a belt running over two pulleys of different size. No drawing on the page carries a Rebour signature.]
