BUFFAUD
The Buffaud brothers were engineers in Lyon, France as early as 1830 who became steam specialists as well as making dying and drying machines for the cloth trade. In 1879 the business was renamed Buffaud & Robatel and became well-known for electric motors, but stationary steam engines continued and from 1893 the firm supplied engines and boilers for Scotte’s roadtrains. They seem also to have been involved with Serpollet and from about 1900 listed their own steam, petrol and no doubt electric automobiles. This carried on to about 1910 but seems to have been limited to local customers for the firm’s other equipment. As general engineers and drier specialists, the firm still existed a hundred years later.
