By the late 1950s, when this booklet was produced, Raleigh had finally cracked and allowed derailleur gears onto their bikes. The Cyclo Benelux Mark 7 makes a fleeting appearance on page 13, and it also gets its own page - Page 26.

It’s easy to forget the extent and power of Raleigh’s operations - this booklet claims that their Nottingham factory covered a mere 60 acres.
