This humble item is the only advert that I could find for a RAS leaf-spring derailleur. It dates from 1944, and so was too early to be for the final version.

The advert appears to claim some real racing success for a design that has always been considered a touch crazy. Although I still find it hard to take the 'Grand Prix de Camembert' seriously.
