Les fabrications REIDUOR

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The notice says the Établissements Reiduor were founded in 1902 by M. Alfred Roudier, an eminently family business that has always worked with a concern for quality. Among the manufactures that most brilliantly justify the firm’s reputation it cites the dynamo 28, of impeccable presentation, silent and reliable; the Reiduor headlamps (projecteurs), fitted with glass fronts; and a series of ten models of red (rear) lamps and combined lamps that allow the most varied lighting sets to be put together. An important specialty of the house is the oiler (burette de graissage) for cycles, motorcycles and sewing machines, made in eight models in tinplate, brass and plastic, meeting every requirement. Among the latest of these oilers it names the flat, large-capacity type in polished brass, entirely soldered, with bar-turned (décolletés) fittings, described as the motorcycle oilers (burettes motos).]

[Ebykr summary, after the illustration. The notice goes on to say that, drawing on the endless possibilities of plastics, the Établissements Reiduor have just perfected a new oiler whose transparent body is a blown bottle, extremely supple and practically unbreakable. Its supple nylon spout, which gives access everywhere, and the absence of any joint or gluing make the article practical and leak-proof, suited to the most delicate uses.]

[A column of text with one boxed illustration. The heading “Les fabrications REIDUOR” stands at the top right in bold roman type with REIDUOR in capitals. The notice is set in italic type with first-line indents, the firm name Reiduor and the name Roudier appearing in upright roman or small capitals. Midway down, a square panel with a thin black rule border holds two line-engraved drawings of oilers seen from above, one above the other. The upper drawing shows a large round oiler with a heavy dark rim, a glossy hatched interior and a long straight spout with a knurled collar and a small knobbed tip pointing right. The lower drawing shows a smaller round oiler drawn in concentric engraved rings, with a short plain collar and a thin straight spout ending in a rounded tip pointing right. No caption, signature or artist mark appears in or under the panel.]
