— Enjoliveurs de garde-boue et une multitude d’autres réalisations pour motorisés.

[Ebykr summary. These are in addition to the firm’s C.M.C. cycle manufactures, which include in particular the following two items.]

— Des étriers de freins acier et dural, à tasseaux brasés ;
— Ainsi que toute une gamme de poignées et guidonnets à collier de serrage invisible convenant pour cycles et cyclomoteurs.

[Ebykr summary. The notice also points out the ALP bottle carrier (porte-bidon) for cyclomoteurs and scooters, meant for carrying cans of fuel mixture, with a special model that can be fitted to the Vélosolex. Finally the “dynamic firm” of Saint-Étienne (“firme stéphanoise”) shows a complete assortment of protective helmets for motorcyclists, sold under the marque « Parachoc » and presented in these shades: classic brown, R.A.F. blue, gray (the Lambretta shade), putty (the Vespa shade), ivory, completed by an assortment of all the new shades launched by the main scooter manufacturers. The shell of this helmet model is made of laminated polyester glass cloth and, though very light, is of a strength that withstands every test, 50 % above the army’s specification. The helmet is also luminous at the front (white) and at the rear (red) by Scotchlite. In a word, it is a protective element indispensable to all motorcyclists and scooter riders, and it keeps the look of elegant headgear.]
