Omega catalogue 1914

I have a scan from the 1914 catalogue (by courtesy of Yesterdays/Ruud van Bijnen). This is a single page, folded in 3 parts, printed on both sides. The outside contains only text, printed in landscape orientation. The inside is printed in portrait orientation.
Here the outside:

Here the complete catalogue in larger size:

Interesting is the Model 2, which is not equipped with the own 350cc Omega 2-stroke engine, but with a 225cc Veloce engine. Veloce Ltd in Birmingham was the company that later built the famous Velocette motorcyles. They started building motorcycles with Belgium Kelecom 4-stroke engines under the name Veloce, but came in 1913 with a 2-stroke model with their own engine, and called it Velocette ("little Veloce"). As this name got a good reputation, they used it later for all motorcycles.
