Encyclopedia:
La Maison Roullet-Decamps est célèbre et réputée pour ses automates. Créée en 1865 par Jean Roullet, l´entreprise prit la dénomination de Roullet-Decamps en 1889, 10 ans après le mariage de la fille de Jean Roullet avec Ernest Decamps, mécanicien de profession. Elle cesse ses activités en 1995. La collection est exposée au public dans deux musées français à Falaise (Calvados) et à Souillac (Lot).
