Darn.  There is no reason why @Place should not work there, except
that I seem to have defined it in the wrong package.

However, here's another option:

   @StartOddTop {
       @Centre @ZeroHeight {
         @DP
         2.8c @Wide @Scale @IncludeGraphic logo.eps
       }
   }

This should centre the graphic near the top of each page, but fool
Lout into thinking it occupies no vertical space.  For @ZeroHeight
and other symbols that may be useful in fiddling around with placing
objects, see the section entitled "Precise object placement" in the
user's guide.

For this, you need to do the above, but on NonStart pages rather
than on Start pages.
