Hector Revol, 4th-generation company director, was only 25 when he took charge of the business. Meanwhile, he also served as town mayor, a post he held for 22 years. Hector was to play a key role in the construction of a railway line in the Galaure valley in 1892. Amongst other things, this railway line allowed easier access to the factory, facilitating the delivery of the vast quantities of carbon required in firing the pieces.
