Les présentations CANETTI

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The Canetti stand received very many visitors, who could see that the firm takes care to present a few interesting novelties at each Salon. Among them the O.K. speedometers (tachymètres), of such careful manufacture, and in particular the model built into a headlamp (projecteur) whose dial is lit, won much success. The new chromed Veloflex adaptable fork also held the attention of connoisseurs who seek an ideal suspension while keeping a harmonious appearance.]

[A short text-only passage with no drawing or photograph, the first part of a notice that continues in the next block of text. The heading “Les présentations CANETTI” stands at the upper right in a bold sans-serif face with the name in capitals. The body is set in a slanted italic roman face with the firm name Canetti in small capitals and the model name Veloflex in upright roman. No signature or address appears.]

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. This section continues the notice on Canetti. The racing specialties Gnutti, whose quick-release hubs (moyeux à blocage rapide) contributed to the victories of Bobet, keep the favor of specialists for their unquestionable quality; in particular the keyless crank set with splined fitting, the Cotterless, has more and more devotees. Among the other Italian specialties shown on the stand the author names the rims and handlebars of the Usines Ambrosio, the Universal brakes and the Cig tubular tires (boyaux). The Weco pedals were also noticed. The Vélo chains for cycles and cyclomoteurs, together with the freewheel and brake hubs Favorit made by the Usines de motos CZ, are rightly more and more appreciated, as is the whole range of Osa miniature bulbs (ampoules mignonnettes), whose quality is now like that of before the war.]
