Les productions BOLLAND

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. Knowing how to adapt to new market demands, this Lyon firm, which has existed for many years, has just completed its range of leather saddles for cycles, supple saddles for cyclomotors in several models and vélomoteur saddles by adding the moto saddle with a double-leaf rubber top fitted with different fixings, which has allowed numerous manufacturers to adopt it.]

[Ebykr summary, after the first drawing. Widening its range, the firm has also developed two rear seats, one large and one small, with a double-leaf rubber top and adjustable tension, harmonizing perfectly with the saddle. There is also a cheaper rear seat without tension, fitted with two large, very supple springs and a double rubber top.]

[A column notice with a bold roman heading set flush right and italic paragraphs, interrupted twice by framed line drawings in thin black rectangular frames. The upper drawing shows a motorcycle saddle in three-quarter view from the front left: a broad pad whose top is covered with a crocodile-skin pattern, a rolled rim at the rear, and below it a steel bracket with nuts, bolts and a perforated adjustment plate. The lower drawing shows a rear seat with a similar crocodile-pattern pad, a curved padded grab handle rising at the left, a steel frame and two large coil springs hanging below the right-hand end; a small maker’s plate is drawn on the pad. Both are fine line engravings with shaded metal surfaces. No signature or agency mark is visible.]
