  • This was the French Wright company, founded by Lazare Weiller, who founded many business and had a political career. After founding it, he/they made a deal with the Wrights. The company does not seem to have lasted very long, but perhaps 1908-12 or so.
  • The article discusses the company's airplane, which is not identical to the American version. The article is short, less than a column. It's one of a series of short sections about different aircraft at an exhibition. The article does not discuss the company overall.
