[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The crop opens in the middle of the notice on the Maillard hubs, with the end of a sentence that says the hub is made of high-strength steel, which gives a flawless finish that favors braking. The author then calls the hub’s chief advantage its “monobloc” design, which avoids the noises produced by certain hubs made of several pieces, in particular those with attached sleeves. These hubs, shown at the Salon du Cycle, stand 65, are said to give ideal braking with total evacuation of heat, and they equip a good number of high-class cyclomotors. The notice closes by recalling that the Établissements Maillard, of Incheville (Seine-Maritime), also produce freewheels, pedals for cycles, ball wheels for baby carriages, and soft, solid and hollow tires.]

[A block of column text only, set in italic type with a few words in upright roman capitals and small capitals, among them “Établissements Maillard”; one phrase, “un freinage idéal, avec évacuation totale de la chaleur”, is set in bold upright type. The paragraphs are indented and justified, five in all, and the column carries no heading, picture, signature or address block. The crop begins and ends on text lines of the column.]
