Asked in the interest of Brit Cycle Touring and not to splay the thread.

Cycle-camping used to be a very popular sport in the UK, among the likes of the CTC who either tended to stop at CTC-registered accommodation or si mpy pitch a tent, instead of going to Youth Hostels, although, obviously no t exclusively so.
The bracket under the top-tube was intended to locate a primus stove at a point on the frame where it could be fixed rigidly and relatively unobtru sively. This way of carrying the stove was preferred to the alternative of stowing the stove in the saddle=bag or pannier, in which there was always a danger of parafin seeping out and contaminating spare clothing etc, or e ven food.
Those were the days...
