Les moyeux MAILLARD

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The “Monobloc ondulés” hubs, a Maillard product, are said to be the only ones on the market made in an alloy treated for high strength.]

[Ebykr summary, after the drawing. Their machining is designed to give a high degree of sealing, avoiding the poor braking caused by damp and mud. The next sentence begins “De plus, l’acier servant à l’exécution des frettes de tambour est” (moreover, the steel used to make the drum liners is) and breaks off at the foot of this crop, so the rest of the notice is not in the image.]

[A single column of editorial text with one framed drawing. The heading “Les moyeux MAILLARD” is in roman type with the firm name in bold capitals, aligned to the right. The paragraphs are set in italic, with the name Maillard and a short phrase in roman. A square drawing in a thin black frame fills the middle and shows a drum-brake hub for a motorized two-wheeler seen at an angle from the right, with two wide flanges pierced by rings of spoke holes, a body between them ribbed with several raised corrugations, and an open brake drum at the right with three spokes joining a central bearing boss. It is drawn in fine line engraving with hatching. There is no signature, street address or telephone number, and no text from the reverse of the leaf shows through. The last printed line is cut at the foot of the crop and its sentence is unfinished.]
