Les productions FOURETS frères
[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. All the tooling for cycle constructors and repairers is the formula applied by the Maison Fourets Frères of Saint-Etienne. The marque Outils-Cycle is synonymous with quality; its products are as numerous as they are varied and are marked by their finish. The listed specialties are taps and tap holders, dies and die stocks, cutters (fraises), cup-wrench lock tools (bloque-cuvettes), tools to fit and remove the cups of bottom brackets (monte et démonte-cuvettes pour pédaliers), reamers, chain tools (dérive-chaînes), a thread-cutting machine (machine à fileter), spoke cutters (coupe-rayons), pedal wrenches (clés à pédales), pliers, and so on.]
[Ebykr summary, continued. The firm also makes the « Son’nett » bicycle bell, a warning device whose success keeps growing. Simple and strong, the bell is described as an accessory of choice with guaranteed operation; with no mechanism, its spring can be turned to any position desired. The specification in parentheses reads: bell dome in light metal, white or in color (blue, green, red and yellow), spring, screws and clamps nickel-plated, weight 30 grams.]
[A text-only passage in one column. The heading is set flush right in heavy bold roman type with the firm name in capitals. The text beneath is justified italic roman type in separated paragraphs with indents; the firm name Fourets in upright small capitals and the marque Outils-Cycle in upright roman type appear among the italic lines. There is no illustration, closing ornament or signature.]
