Hello listmembers!

i found this poster of Adelin Benoit: http://www.sportsposterwarehouse.com/warehouse/tourroadieart.htm

i suspect his jersey might have "Automoto" written on it? supposedly its from 1924. Unfortunately, even a thorough web research didnt tell me what team he rode for in 1924, not even the excellent "memoire du cyclisme" wouldnt help. He rode for Alcyon and Thomann-Dunlop later, but is that an Automoto jersey or not?
