Another bit, Horch founder left Horch, started a new company with the Latin

Interesting. I always guessed that it was an acronym, something like Auto Union Deutsche Industries.

Subject: PESO: Auto Union Horch

The Auto Union and Horch badges on a 1938 Horch, today at the Concours of 
America. Horch, Audi, DKW and Wanderer merged in 1932 to form Auto Union — 
hence the four rings of the Auto Union logo, which was resurrected by the 
postwar Audi. Interestingly Daimler now owns the Horch brand name but doesn’t 
use it.
