Three separate flyers for post-war Resilion products. The range of alloy brakes, levers and the locking lever were introduced in 1948.
The locking lever may seem like rather a feeble security device to modern eyes but these were times when just some small deterant would be sufficient. Back then cycle thieves didn't have vans, bolt croppers and battery powered angle grinders!
Resilion brakes were introduced in 1929 and ruled the roost for braking effiency for a couple of decades with very little real competition in the lightweight market. There's a great history of the Resilion brand over on the Classic Lightweights site.
