Société des Avions Louis Bréguet did 60 years of uninterrupted production of many designs that included to 1918 many tractor biplanes, a flying boat; and a pusher bomber, the latter mass-produced at Michelin works as BUM (Bréguet-Michelin). Control of company passed by French government to Dassault, 14 December 1971.[1]

Following the pattern established by Louis Bréguet before 1911, as agents the company used Armengaud jeune in France and Johnsons & Willcox in England.

1913, opened UK affiliate British Bréguet Plane Limited Company.[2]

Bréguet, in 1914 or just before, created an aerial signaling apparatus similar to the one designed by James Means.[3]

The company was an international airplane supplier before and during the war.[4]

Relocated from Douai to Vélizy-Villacoublay in response to the German invasion.[5]

In 1919, held some long distance "raids" (long-distance voyages) to demonstrate the endurance of its aircraft.[6]

Patents connected with a/the Bréguet company, which, like Louis Bréguet himself, varies in its usage of the name. Patent US-1918-1347075 (aluminum soldering] has Bréguet as the inventor, assigning patent rights to Ateliers d'aviation Louis Bréguet.

Regarding Ateliers d'aviation Louis Bréguet, and location, Patent FR-1912-451312 gives us département Nord, France, and its addition gives us département Seine, France.[7][8] In this case, this reflects a corporate move to Paris. Immediately subsequent British data, also pertinent in terms of content, gives us the address 17, rue du Colonel Moll, Paris, France.[9]

We are tracking atelier data. This is a proto-industrial and proto-corporate phenomenon. In this Bréguet case, it has to do with Louis Bréguet, as an inventor, in relation to the evolutions of his corporate activity.
