M. Rochet victime d’un accident

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. M. Rochet, maker of Hurtu cycles and cyclomotors, was seriously injured in an accident near Meaux while driving home at night from the Frankfurt show. His car struck an unlit truck that he had not been able to see because of the glare from the headlights of an oncoming car. He was hurt in the leg and the head and was taken to a Paris clinic. L’Officiel du Cycle et du Motocycle sends him its wishes for a prompt and complete recovery.]

Terrot a inauguré

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The Dijon firm Terrot, whose scale the journal described in its special Salon number, gave a lunch on 10 October in its new showrooms at number 72, avenue de la Grande-Armée, to mark their opening. The journal finds the installation in every respect worthy of the vast Burgundian works that turn out the marque’s excellent machines. It congratulates M. Renaud, the very active Administrateur-Directeur général, for the brilliant contribution Terrot has made to the national motorcycle industry. In that regard the Terrot scooter, one of the stars of the 1951 Salon, proves to be a first-rate achievement destined for a considerable circulation; the journal says it will return to it in detail in its “Motocycles” section.]

[A text-only editorial item, a short run of italic roman type in one column under a bold sans-serif subheading, “Terrot a inauguré”. The paragraphs are indented and there is no illustration, signature or agency mark.]
