Solved -PJ260- Engelbert Zaschka 's Handy foldable car 1930

Wow, the pictures are

great! I don't know, why the author of the article calls the inventor of the foldable car HEINRICH ZASCHKA. The right name of the inventor is ENGELBERT ZASCHKA. Perhaps HEINRICH is an alternate name or a pseudonym for ENGELBERT ZASCHKA. Anyway I like the foldable city car of Zaschka.

I found two videos of Engelbert Zaschka and his inventions:

1. ZASCHKA Three-Wheeler (in German)

2. An early helicopter trial of Zaschka in Berlin in 1927

He must have been a quite clever guy.

Look at this innovative straight crankshaft design, he has presented in 1929:
