Giles-Forest was founded in St. Cloud France by Ferdinand Forest a prolific inventor, his first four stroke engined car was designed by him as early as 1890. The first production vehicles were horizontal single cylinder cars of 5, 9-10 and 12 hp. They ran at boiling point in order to improve their economy and were steam cooled, with a distinctive Vee shaped vertical tubed condenser at the front. Failure to update this original design resulted in the companies downfall in 1907
