Dansk (automobile)

Dansk (also known as Dansk & Christiansen) was the brand name of cars built by Dansk Automobil & Cyclefabrik in Copenhagen, Denmark, between 1901 and 1907. The company had been a bicycle repair shop before venturing into automobile construction. It built three- and four-wheel light cars with German Cudell engines. The factory also produced light buses and trucks in small numbers. See the link to "Motorsamllingen" for more precise numbers.

I have two files of images from a publication (US magazine) before 1930 that I would like to insert here, but it is very difficult to understand how WP wants users to achieve this. Before 1930 should be public domain. Right?

Reference below to the USA-based weekly automobile magazine The Horseless Age which had a reportage on "Motor Mail Stages in Denmark" with a photo and drawings of a small mail bus from what they called "Danish Automobile Works". This name must be a loose translation of "Dansk Automobil- og Cykle Fabrik".

The link to "Motorsamlingen" has more info in Danish on the company. It also contains a reference to the bus and mail route "Nykøbing-Nysted" which was started in 1903. I hope to be able to insert an image of the bus that operated this route, built by this manufacturer.
