No number

The FRAME No. box is left empty, which is why the sheet sits in the register unnumbered. A very large frame — the size is written “25½" – 25¾"” with a 24" top tube. A telephone number follows the town on the address line, and some scribbled-out letters precede the name. The h'bar control eyes and gear lever clip pip lines are struck through. The other-details box reads “Pannier carrier brackets brazed on”, with “16½"” inserted above, then a heavily scribbled passage of which “dyno bracket” survives; what the 16½" measures is not said.
