Les fabrications de la SOCIÉTÉ BOURBONNAISE
DES APPLICATIONS DU FIL MÉTALLIQUE

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The Société Bourbonnaise des Applications du Fil Métallique is specialized in making all articles in which steel wire forms the framework. The notice says the list of articles shaped from steel wire would obviously be very long and gives extracts to show the production usable by bicycles and cyclomoteurs.]

— Câbles de freins ;
— Câbles de dérailleurs ;
— Câbles sous enrobage nylon (résistant à la corrosion et à l’usure par frottement) ;
— Gaines pour freins et dérailleurs ;
— Transmissions montées ;
— Rayons ;
— Ressorts ;
— Rondelles Grower.

[Ebykr summary, continued. These are only a few articles in a very vast program that the magazine says it cannot examine in detail for lack of space.]

[A text-only editorial notice set in a single column. A two-line bold roman heading in capitals, “Les fabrications de la SOCIÉTÉ BOURBONNAISE / DES APPLICATIONS DU FIL MÉTALLIQUE”, stands at the top, right-aligned. The body below is set in italic roman type with indented first lines, the firm name in small capitals in the first line and the phrases “spécialisée dans la fabrication de tous articles dans lesquels le fil d’acier constitue l’armature” and “un programme très vaste” in bold roman. A list of eight items, each introduced by a dash and set on its own line in italic, runs down the middle of the column. There are no drawings or photographs and no signature or agency mark.]
