The Origins of Audi

["PETE KRAUS" <PETE_KRAUS@email.eushc.ORG>]

     In the interest of historical accuracy, please note that it was August 
     Horch who founded the company which began producing Horch automobiles 
     early this century.  Herr Horch subsequently left (or was forced out 
     of) the company he created. However, his interest in automobile 
     manufacturing remained unabated.  He formed a new company called Audi 
     which is Latin for "to listen" (or "to hear," I forget exactly which). 
     "Horch" in German means much the same thing.  The two companies later 
     fell under the same corporate umbrella that was Auto Union.
