Topic: Solved: PN #1371 -- Bufflier three-wheeler, 1930s

• a builder of motors or motorcycle components

I can't imagine trying to identify a French bicycle manufacturer from the 1930s that never produced another motorized vehicle (probably many hundreds to choose from), so did this company build motors that were used in motorcycles?
