Lightning Bolt(?) Symbol ID
-----
this is one have been wondering about for nigh onto a half century...
curious as to the maker behind the symbol on the stem binder bolt head in this image
it is also seen on the heads of seat binders
was current during the 1960's but have no information as to start/stop dates for it
since it appears on both stem binders and seat binders makes me think it a manufacturer of small bits of hardware much as with ALGI of France
thank you for any information

Maybe one of the suppliers of their cranks, derailleurs, or?

Since Huret was a major supplier of Schwinn deraileurs at that time it seems reasonable to assume that the maker of other small parts was French. Could it be ALGI Industrie, 74950, SCIONZIER, AUVERGNE-RHONE-ALPES France?

thank you for this suggestion
ALGI binder bolts exhibit concave rather than convex heads and are without marking
herewith a few examples -
[MILREMO marked Philippe]

and when one gets back far enough into the interwar period their heads were flat -
