Les cycles et motorisés LIBERIA

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The Libéria cycles of Grenoble are called the great marque of the French Alps. Their machines come out in men’s and women’s types for utility, cyclotouring, competition and demi-course.]

[Ebykr summary, after the photograph. The photograph shows part of the firm’s workshops. The firm also produces cyclomoteurs with the Vap 4 and Cucciolo engines, and vélomoteurs with a Sachs engine of 98 cm3, 2-stroke. This last machine is described as modern and harmonious in design, with excellent front suspension by telescopic fork and an adjustable suspension saddle. Finally Libéria turns out a light motorcycle with a Sachs 150 cm3 engine, likewise remarkable for its suspension.]

[A text column with one halftone photograph set in the body, in a plain rectangle without a caption. The heading “Les cycles et motorisés LIBERIA” stands at the top in a sans-serif face with the marque name in capitals; in the body text the marque name appears in small capitals with accents. The photograph looks down a workshop aisle with overhead conveyor rails and a great many frames or parts hanging from the ceiling, while stacks of wheel rims and rows of wheels or tires stand on the floor at left and right and a few figures work in the middle distance. A short dash mark sits at the foot of the left margin below the last line. No signature or artist mark appears on the photograph.]
