Blank sheets and dividers before the 1956-1957 notes

In this document

The three pages (154 to 156) contain no transcribed text.

Page 154 is described as legible but blank: no content has been noted.

Page 155 features two metal staples at the top of the page, as well as a mark in the shape of double chevrons (" >> ") visible as a light overprint, probably due to the transparency of a neighboring page.

Page 156 bears a watermark of the Citroën logo oriented vertically on the left edge ("CITROËN" mention followed by an illegible subtitle), as well as the Citroën chevrons printed as a watermark in the upper right corner. Two metal staples are also visible on the right edge of the page.

No other textual or graphic elements are usable on these three sheets.

Context

The Citroën watermarked paper, with chevrons and brand mention printed clearly in the paper pulp, corresponds to a type of internal stationery widely used by the brand for its technical documents during Paul Magès's decades of activity, notably for files related to the hydropneumatic suspension and then the hydrostatic transmission.

The staples visible on these pages suggest that they belonged to a set of bound sheets — a common practice in engineer files of the time to organize handwritten notes or test reports into distinct sections.

Archivist's perspective

These three sheets carry no directly usable documentary information: they seem to have served as separator pages or blank dividers within a larger file, a function consistent with the presence of staples p. 155-156 and the total absence of text.

The position of this archive, just before "1956-1957 notes" according to the file title, suggests that it was probably intended to mark a transition between two thematic or chronological sections of Paul Magès's binder, rather than to contain technical information per se.

The Citroën watermark p. 156 only confirms the origin of the paper used, without providing any element specific to the history of the engineer's inventions. This piece therefore presents a mainly archival interest — it helps to understand the material organization of the files — rather than a technical interest, unlike neighboring documents such as the handwritten notes "Presentation T.H. 50 CV" at the B.E.A. or the B.E.A. test report bulletins.
