Well after extensive searching and deciphering French (thanks Google Translate), ive been able to determine that SEV (Societe Anonyme Por Le'equipment Electrique des Vehicules) or the SEV Corporation Electric and Vehicle Equipment was a company that has made (among many other things) vacuum cleaners since the 20's. According to this Canadian Website (in link below) SEV made the following; Machine tools; engines; transmission couplings and belts; great instruments for agriculture; incubators; electrical apparatus and instruments, optical, measuring, signaling, control and relief for motor vehicles; automatic apparatus by the introduction of a coin or token; talking machines; cash registers, calculating machines; fire extinguishers; lighting, heating, steam generating, cooking, Refrigeration, drying, ventilating, water supply and sanitary purposes; motor vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, helicopters, boats, cars, boats; alternators, regulators, igniters, ignition coils, wiper motors, wheelhouse, wiper arm and blade wiper, washer, gasoline pumps, projectors, auxiliary lights, light and sound alarms, reflectors, candles, electric relays and devices flashing lights, batteries, accumulators, tank caps, mirror, household appliances, vacuum cleaners, radios, tape recorders, car radios, tape cassettes for vehicles, heaters and air conditioners for vehicles, windshield -Ice headlamps, starters, tape cassettes.
I was able to find an ad that featured the SEV Atom Grand Deluxe, my machine, dated 1953. I still need to get a converter and transformer to operate it! Today the company is called SEV Marchal.
