English Translation
Registration and Protection Shield for Bicycles In the area of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, approximately 3,000 bicycles worth 113 of almost 2,000,000 K are stolen each year.This loss affects most of the workers' circles. The management can at least protect their employees from this damage. 60839 consists of a metal disc divided into two parts by irregular shaft line and is mounted on the wheel fork. The upper part of the shield is separable and the bicycle owner keeps it with him as soon as he keeps his bike in the stand in the factory, or leaves the same in another place without supervision. Those who take possession of the bicycle without right do not have the separable half to the disposition and rides only with a half of the sign. The company sportsman can immediately determine this fact, just like the safety bodies on all public roads. The removal of the lower part of the shield requires disassembly of the steering rods, i.e. a manipulation which cannot be carried out inconspicuously. All signs are precisely shown in evidence according to numbers and company signs. The company administrations provide simple evidence of which number was assigned to individual employees. The registration plate is made of black sheet and protected by bonding against roasting. The numbers are carried out with special inflammation varnish, so that an imitation would be very difficult.
