Korn et Latil was a French automobile manufacturer established in 1898 at Marsaille.
In 1897, Auguste Joseph Frederic Georges Latil (1878–1961) patented a constant-velocity joint, inspired by the knee's patella and which allowed wheels used for steering to also be used for driving, now known as front-wheel drive.
[1][2][3] This unit (the avant-trail Latil) could be attached to the front of horse-drawn vehicles.
[4] The company produced a front-wheel drive voiturette with a 3.5 metric horsepower (2.6 kW) Aster engine.
In 1909, he took over the assets and created a new company called Charles Blum & Cie to manage them.
