Sources give Bernard was rolling about 2000 tubes per year.

In 1885 France abolished the need for Proof and was established again on July 30th, 1897. The Paris facility wasn't formed until November 7th, 1895 and France didn't sign on to the International Proof Conference until 1914, which was disrupted by the 1st Major Disagreement in Europe. I think it was 1923 before they convened again?
