This applies not only to storage, but in the first row to the evidence and determination of intentional or unintentional confusion and finally to the avoidance of thefts. After a very thorough study and with the participation of the Central Association of Cyclists in Prague, we have succeeded in finding the appropriate means to eliminate all these difficulties. It is a two-part registration plate according to the patent No. 6o839, whose illustration and description from the enclosed brochure is apparent. The registration plate was introduced in a test manner at the company Bafa in Zlin and Otrokowitz and has proven itself in general best, so that the bicycle thefts since then have stopped almost completely. In recent times, a number of companies have introduced registrations, such as Explosia, Semtin, Prager Eisen, Skodawerke, Waffenfabrik, Brünn, Witkowitzer Eisenwerke and Steinkohlngruben, Blechwalzwerke A. G. Karishütte, Albert Hahn, Oderberg, Ringhoffer-Tatra, all our group plants, etc. The registration plate protects against theft not only in the factory alone, but also on all public roads and comunications, since at the Ministry of the Interior a decree is in preparation, according to which all safety bodies are obliged to check the completeness of the signs, so far as the bicycles are provided with them. It is not impossible that, according to the experience of several industrial companies, the sign will be introduced for all bicycle owners, similar to those of motor vehicles. For workers today, the loss of the bicycle means in most cases a threat to employment and existence, with regard to the difficulties in purchasing new wheels, especially new pneumatic tyres. The registration plate, provided with the initial letters of your company and the numbering from 1., can be delivered at a price of K 10*- franko your factory. Our representative Merr Franz Donnert from Hohenmauth, Parkstrasse 217/li will give you more information, which will allow you to visit you in the next few days.
