Verktyg has posted in a recent thread that at one time Atom and Normandy were separate from Maillard. we have all seen the Atom quick release skewers with the marking "MM ATOM" on the lever. the MM part likely stands for Maurice Maillard to differentiate them from products made by Atom prior to the Maillard acquisition.

this made me wonder if an earlier name for the Maillard firm might have been Raccord Maurice Maillard, which would yield the RMM acronym. mo' wylde speculation
