Norris and Co.
     This bike looks so much like the tandems I've seem from LeJeune and Urago, that I wonder if it wasn't built by a contract builder for Helyett. Even perhaps Urago?
     It's too bad that there aren't more close-in photos. In many respects, the only way to distinguish between many of the French tandems of that era is to examine some very specific details.
     Cheers,
