LES MOYEUX-FREINS RETRO “ PERRY ”

Il existe deux modèles :
— l’un en 36 trous pour bicyclettes « Porteur » ou autres,

[Ebykr summary; the note’s text is not reproduced. The note presents the Perry back-pedal brake hubs (“moyeux-freins retro”), made in Birmingham (Angleterre) by the Perry Chain CO. Ltd. Their freewheel and brake hub, the « Deux étoiles » (two stars), is said to embody the latest advances in technique. The hubs are praised for their finish and are said to fit any bicycle and also the VéloSolex. Two models exist: the first, drilled 36 holes, is for « Porteur » (carrier) bicycles and others (continued in the next column).]

[A line drawing shows the Perry coaster hub in three-quarter view: the drilled flanges, the barrel cut away to show the internal brake mechanism, an oiler on the shell, a single sprocket with its lock ring at the right and, at the left, the axle nut and the curved brake reaction arm with its slotted clip and screw. The arm carries the maker’s name, the word England and two stars (lettering in the flags). The drawing is unsigned.]
