DUX ( 1908 - 1927 )
The Polyphon factory in Leipzig / Germany was famous for the production of musical instruments. In 1909 they decided to enter the automobile market offering the Polymobil, a licence of the famous one-cylinder Oldsmobile.
The first car under the Latin name DUX (that means "Leader") was built in 1908.
The last DUX - a 6-cylinder car with v-shaped radiator - was offered from 1924 to 1926.
The same year DUX was taken over by PRESTO.
As the the last DUX had an vee-shaped radiator there was one emblem at each side:
