Brule-Girardot

   In 1904 Girardot ordered a Wright-type glider built by d' Argent; perhaps he flew it, but he began to build automobiles in 1906 under the name first of GEM (Societe Generate d'Automobiles Electro-Mecaniques); then, until 1910, under the name of CGV (Charron, Girardot, et Voigt).
   A Brule-Girardot biplane crashed during November 1911 at Issy; the pilot was named Roberts. The aircraft may have been a separate design, or a Voisin or other production machine given the names of its owners. A Brule, perhaps the same one, was later an associate of Souchet.
   A Brule biplane appeared in L'Aeronautique for 1 March 1912, perhaps the same as the one described above. It had equal-span rectangular wings, an awkward uncovered rectangular-section fuselage, a large rectangular tailplane, and a rectangular rudder; a high undercarriage sported 2 pairs of wheels and skids. Large rectangular elevators hung from the top wing. It was reported to have flown well.
