only to be forced into reassessing their direction, to head off in another? Unsurprisingly, quite a few. Some were
producing bicycles, others sewing machines and Andre Citroen had been producing armaments for the First World War,
when he discovered, in 1919, that he owned a factory but had no product. However, he was also an amazing renegade and
innovator, despite his international fame as a freemason (which, it is believed, was one of the reasons for the
development of his company's "double chevron"" symbol, like a doubled-up version of the freemason's compasses).
However, Citroen also invented the double-helical gear, used in transmissions, engines and many engineering
applications. He was also an acknowledged entrepreneur and is among the few commercial organisations that has used the
Eiffel Tower as an advertising billboard for his company. Having sold his popular motorcars with a degree of success,
he realised that he was losing a lot of money, so determined that a motorcar of such monumental innovation that none
of his rivals could compete was the only solution. The first Citroen Traction Avant arrived in 1934 and set standards
that continue to be explored today. It featured unitary construction, front wheel drive, inboard brakes and
independent suspension. However, its very introduction led to the demise of the company, as it had been so expensive
to develop that the debts had piled up and Citroen was unable to service them. Within months, the business was sold to
its biggest creditor, Michelin Tyre, although, fortunately, development was allowed to continue. Light Fifteen led to
ID, then to DS. Oleopneumatic suspension (with automatic height adjustability), interlinked power steering, brakes and
suspension, directional headlamps - the list is lengthy. Ownership of Maserati in the early-1970s proved costly and
rotary engine developments led to Citroen's acquisition by Peugeot and PSA was formed between 1974 and 1976." Citroen
