"Le chronometrage sportif: La FINA adopte un nouvel appareil de chronometrage pour les Jeux de Melbourne" - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1956 Swiss magazine.

Text in the article is in French.

The opening paragraph of the article reads:

"Les delegues au congres de la Federation internationale de natation amateur, qui s'est tenu recemment a Lausanne, ont profite de leur bref sejour en Suisse pour se rendre a Bienne, ou ils ont examine en detail le nouvel appareil de chronometrage concu specialement pour les epreuves de natation par la fabrique de montres Omega. L'adoption officielle de cet appareil par FINA marque une amelioration tres importante dans le chronometrage des epreuves de natation. Jusqu'a maintenant en effet, le temps officiel etait la moyenne des temps pris a la main par trois chronometreurs. Or, qui dit moyenne dit approximation. Desormais, les temps seront enregistres par l' Omega Swim-Eight-O-Matic Timer de facon beaucoup plus sure et precise."

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.

The article is 2 pages in length (on one single sheet of paper, front and back) and includes two small black and white images within the text.

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

The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
