Does anyone know why and where Andre Marie Ruf came up with the little symbol of his? It looks like a little stick figure dancing and smiling.
Just curious about it's history.

Really?
Sorry if i confused but if you look at the link below, it shows a AMR factory built (JPM montage). On the plate above the model number N 22, it shows a little monkey type figure. Looks like it's dancing. I was wondering about this symbol...

It's the so-called "Tipiello", whose whole history is told in the AMR fanzine of end of the 90s.
