Hi Andy:

A very small bit of information, but it might help you.

Stationary Engine magazine in the UK has had a couple of articles on
these engines and their connection with the UK and Switzerland. I'm in
the US at present so can't help with any more than that, but it is a
start.

I vaguely remember that Hillman Cars may have been the UK connection as well.
