Les catadioptres SOUBITEZ
[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The make is said to hold one of the very first places in lighting and signaling and to have developed reflectors of high quality and of a quite special technique, with minute glass beads set into them.]
[Ebykr summary, after the drawing. The picture shows one of these reflectors, the “Catasol”, a simple device, together with the “Catamixt”, a reflecting device combined with a rear lamp, described as a particularly robust unit.]
[Text article set in italic roman type under a title in roman type, the word SOUBITEZ in heavy capitals, with a row of three small stars centered above the title; the stars belong to the break that separates this piece from the one above it. Across the middle of the column are two line-engraved drawings side by side, each showing a reflector fixed to the rear of a mudguard, with long curved lines for the wheel and the guard and ruled hatching at the foot. At the left the Catasol is a slim upright plate with a tall dark ribbed reflecting panel, a screw at each end and the name Soubitez lettered across the upper part. At the right the Catamixt has the same lettered body and ribbed panel with a larger dark lamp housing at the top. No caption, signature or agency mark appears.]
