Dynamos running on the front tyre can slip during wet weather. If that happens, you can put a rubber cap on the dynamo. Simplex was one of the biggest bike manufacturers in the Netherlands. The company was founded in 1887 and ended its life as a seperate company in 1965. The company was then taken over by the Gazelle company. Gazelle sold the name Simplex in 2000 to a German company.

One of the problems with a dynamo which runs along the side of the bicycle tyre is that after a while the little wheel becomes smooth and starts slipping, especially when it is wet. Then you have to buy a little rubber hood (or in this case: a rubber ring) for the dynamo wheel so you have light again.
