The photograph, in a thin black rectangular frame, shows a bare frame joint on a plain light ground: a vertical head tube with a threaded top, a pressed lug at its upper end holding the stub of a top tube running off to the right, a second lug lower down holding the stub of a slanting down tube, and below them a fork crown from which the tops of two fork blades hang. The firm name is set in small capitals in the text. No signature or agency mark is visible.]
