Verot et Acier Diamant
-----
Came upon this photo of a cottered spindle from a Dilecta bicycle marked with the Acier Diamant shooting star device but with the letters LV (for Louis Verot) inside it.
Got me to wondering regarding a relation between Acier Diamant and Verot.
Some Verot history here:

More commonly the Acier Diamant shooting star insigne appears like this:

Well, yes, Stronglight and Acier Diamant are both Verot et Perrin. Here's a picture heavy place to start -

Most information on Stronglight and Louis Verot is in French, although if you are oriented to names and bike terms you don't need a lot of French. You will likely need to try multiple search engines. Google is massively Anglo-centric, xenophobic, averse to history, averse to anything not producing immediate ad revenue.
