It's even worse. I have a complete set of the Huret Jubilee touring derailleur with box and instructions. It says that even the touring version with the long cage for triple cranks can only handle 24T(!) cogs. There was also special part available that clips onto the Jubilee front derailleur cage resulting in a bigger inner cage plate for triple cranks.

I find CR comments about Huret Jubilee derailleur interesting.. I have owned a set since I purchased my first Raleigh Competition back in 1975.
The rear short cage derailleur has not given me any problems over 25 years, but the front has twisted once and required replacement. As I get older, my only slight regret is the the rear short cage derailleur can only handle a max 28T and there are some gear combinations that did not shift smoothly...
I believe that Huret put out a service advisory stating that 52-28T gear combinations were not advised... this may have caused my twisted front derailleur. Does anyone recall this this service announcement?
