Rear springing by BCR, France, from this page

http://zhumoriste.over-blog.com/page/15

.".. A rear suspension very particular whose operation is understandable due to the drawing below. A short, low amplitude oscillating arm revolves around an outgrowth of the frame, the suspension movement being provided by a half cantilever leaf spring and is cushioned by a coil spring secured to the frame. British-born, this suspension Victory was mounted on a 350 BCR exposed to the Brussels Salon."

There really is more than one way to skin a cat. All that unsprung weight with no shock absorber would have to make for an interesting ride.

It actually shows a knee bender friction shock in the drawing.
Interesting idea for a vintage replica build. Thanks....
