Les pièces détachées ROUSSON et CHAMOUX
[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The author says that making spare parts calls for very careful manufacturing methods and steels of irreproachable quality, and that by meeting these demands this company counts among the first makers of spare parts for cycles, cyclomotors and motorcycles. Among the firm’s products he names hubs (moyeux), pedals (pédales), headsets (jeux de direction), chainwheels (roues dentées), cranks (manivelles), bottom-bracket sets (jeux de pédaliers), axles (axes), sprockets (pignons) and rings (couronnes) for cyclomotors and motorcycles, all shown at stand 310. The marque R. F. G., under which all the spare parts are sold, has existed for 75 years, and the author asks whether a better guarantee can be given.]
[A block of column text only, set in italic type under a bold roman heading that runs across the head of the column; the phrases “pièces détachées pour cycles, cyclomoteurs et motos” and “moyeux” are set in bold roman and “R. F. G.” in upright roman. A small solid round ornament closes the column at the foot. There is no picture, signature or address block.]
