In 1909 the pilot Gaudard founded the Société d’Étude pour la Locomotion Aérienne (SELA) in France. G Badini, their designer, built two similar aircraft powered by 55 hp Aviatik engines, one appeared in 1910 at St Cyr, the other, a variant, in 1911. This machine was sponsored by “La Dentelle au Foyer”, a lace-workers’ magazine which later bought a Farman for the Army, christened “La Dentelle de Puy”; the city of Puy was famous for its lace industry.
