Solved -PJ603- S.I.R. 9 HP Standard

Closer to Milan than Legnano...and as close as Pavia but the other way around...not South of Milan  ;)

[Hiawatha]

Monza?

[Paul Jaray]

Go North-West...

I'm confused.  You say the mystery city is northwest of Milan, as is Legnano, but closer.  Yet you say that it is as close as Pavia.  My map says Pavia 43 km from Milan, and Legnano is 29 km.  So is the mystery city closer than Legnano, or closer than Pavia, which could make it further than Legnano.

How about ALFA (before Alfa Romeo) at Arese, 17 km northwest of Milan?

[Hiawatha]

I am also confused, I'll try Saronno

[Paul Jaray]

Oh...I see now...I confused Legnano with Legnago!

Gallarate?

[Paul Jaray]

The arrow in my pic is pointing directly at that city.  ;)
4 letters, starting with 'C'.

Como?

 :thumbsup:

Built under license? It´s very similar to the British Standard, circa 1913-14.

[Paul Jaray]

That was my idea too, even if the source where I took the pic from suggests it could be the old FAS.

I'm not quite sure where to start grasping at straws, but I have to begin somewhere, so I'll begin the three letter game.  Many Italian companies of the period were Officine Meccaniche ...., shortened to OM...  Therefore my first guess is OMC: (Officine Meccaniche Como).

[Paul Jaray]

There are no O, M or C  ;)

[4popoid]

SFA?

[Paul Jaray]

Not SFA, but there's an 'S'.

[4popoid]

SIL?

[Paul Jaray]

You got 2/3 of it  ;)

[4popoid]

SIV?

[Paul Jaray]

SIV?

Still 2/3.  ;)

SIC?

Still 2/3.  ;)
