Léon Bollée (1870–1913) was a French automobile manufacturer and inventor.Bollée's family were well known bellfounders and his father, Amédée Bollée (1844 – 1917), was a pioneer in the automobile industry who produced several steam cars. Both Léon Bollée and his older brother Amédée-Ernest-Marie (1867 – 1926) became automobile manufacturers.
In 1887 Bollée began work on three calculating machines: the Direct Multiplier, the Calculating Board and the Arithmographe. Bollée's Multiplier was the second successful direct-multiplying calculator (the first was Ramón Verea's) and it won a gold medal at the 1889 Paris Exposition. Three versions of the large multiplier and several smaller machines were developed by Bollée and the devices were patented in France, Belgium, Germany, the USA and Hungary.

Who was Leon Bollee?编辑本段回目录
Leon Bollee was French inventor of the first calculating machine. Leon Bollee who was a son of the most important pioneer of steam road vehicles in France; Amedee Bollee pere. Here is the German Patent 82963 awarded to Leon Bollee in 1895.
Leon Bollée in Le Mans (Frankreich) Rechenmaschine.
Bollee’s machine was one of the earliest of its type and was a direct multiplier with a built-in multiplication table. Later on Bollee was more interested in designing, building and racing sports cars.
Leon Bollee was the first in France to build small gasoline powered vehicles, beginning to do so in 1895. This voiturette as he called it, was introduced in the 1896 Paris-Marseille-Paris race. With three speeds of 6-12-18 mph, it was one of the fastest of its type. In 1897 modified versions won the Paris-Dieppe race at 24 mph and the Paris-Trouville race at 28 mph. Specifications: tandem two-seat tri-car;engine four-cycle, single-cylinder,air-cooled, with hot tube ignition;bore 76 mm., stroke 145 mm., displacement 650 cc., 2.5 hp.
Leon Bollee was the first person in France to create a small petrol car and so he called it "Voiturette", distinguishing it from steam powered vehicles. The name however was taken up by both the trade and public in France as a name in general for a small light car and so it continued to be used.
