The Socièté Nationale de Construction de Moteurs was founded by the French state in the late 1930s, bringing together Lorraine and Potez at the outset.

From Appendix 9: SNCM was the result of the initial merger of Potez and Lorraine, after WWII.

-That is why the following photograph belongs to this new period of Lorraine. It is a Sterna engine, already known as SNCM-Sterna.
