La roue libre PACKSON

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The notice says the Packon-Perfection freewheel is made by the Forges du Lignon at Boën-sur-Lignon (Loire), run by M. Paquet, described as esteemed and likeable, with his two sons assisting him. It states that the freewheel has established itself through unmatched quality and its results in the major international competitions, and that it has won in all the road classics, including the World Championship won in 1952 by Kubler. It adds that this year it has added one more success to its record, the French professional road championship, won by Geminiani. The notice closes by saying that Packson also makes a special freewheel for cyclomotors that equips the machines of the big makes.]
