"La Suisse fut tout de meme presente a Melbourne Un robot installe sur la ligne d'arrivee supplee aux defaillances eventuelles des juges" - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1956 Swiss magazine.

Text in the article is in French.

The opening sentences of the article read:

"Assisterait-on a Melbourne a une arrivee de la finale des 100 metres aussi serree que ce fut le cas aux Jeux olympiques de Londres, en 48, et d'Helsinki, en 52?

"A Londres, Ewell (USA) avit ete considere par certains comme gagnant jusqu'a ce que le Racend Omega Timer ne vint apporter la preuve indiscutable de la victoire de Dillard (USA). A Helsinki, Remigino (USA) et McKenley (Jamaique) semblant avoir coupe le fil presque simultanement. Les juges a l'arrivee etaient d'opinion partagee et ce n'est que grace a la photo du Racend Omega Timer que l'on put attribuer la victoire a Remigino."

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.

As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends.
