The man behind the wheel of this magnificent Benz (click main picture) was a French engineer. Born in 1879, he moved to Saint-Petersburg in 1905 and became a personal driver to Tsar Nicolas II. Trying to improve the cars for the Russian roads, he invented a flexible belt. After the Russian revolution he went back to France and started working for a French automobile manufacturer. His invention was used on several of their models between 1921 and 1937 for off-road and military vehicles. Their crossings are noteworthy. Tell us the name of this French automobile manufacturer and the name of the inventor (which is also the model name).
