From Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki

RIP tractors was a French version built under licence of the Rock Island Plow Company tractors from America from about 1919. The Rock Island tractors were based on a Heider design. The tractor was based on the Heider/Rock Island Model C.[1] Both companies used a 20 hp 7.0 litre 4-cylinder engine by Waukesha. The company latter built a new model of their own design with a French built CLM engine. The last model was powered by a Mercedes-Benz engine in 1939. production ceased in World war II and never restarted.
