British Salmson
AD AD has reversed in adverts and articles.
I think that this designation was applied only to British Salmson produced engines which may or may not have been direct copies of the
Salmson 3 Ad, th3e French version. i will adjust the article to reflect this.--

the dichotomy is do we change the title to Salmson 3 Ad which would cover all production or leave it as AD.3 which would cover only British production?--

A French advert from December 1924 for the
engine describes it as the AD-3, so AD.3 would actually cover both suppliers. Though the 3 Ad form also no doubt appears (I need to check old French lit), AD.3 (or AD-3) does not imply British. I think we should keep the article as all-inclusive.

the engine as the A.D.-3. (!) The British Salmson Co. was not founded until 1930, so the two sources show the AD-3 notation pre-dates the British connection.

Though the AD-3 seems to have disappeared by the mid-30s, the order of number and letters had changed (for example to 9 AD) though there is a roughly equal mix of 9 AD and 9 Ad.
