Correct! I still dig the Cat-face logo.
In our less than scientific but reasonable drag testing two bikes of the same type were assembled for customers on each side of a Park workstand, one w/ a Schwinn Approved Union generator set the other w/ the Marchal. Dynamos engaged both were spun up to whiz-bang top gear speed in the workstand and allowed to coast to a stop. Both put out bright headlight/taillights but the French Super Sport unit spun a good bit longer than the German generator, a win for Marchal.
