[75america]

Whose patent is built and by which company?

[75america]

Is there an Expert who recognizes this one?

[ropat53]

Is it German, the radiator could be of a NAW?

[75america]

Not from Germany.

[ropat53]

Is it French?

[75america]

It's not from France.

[ropat53]

Belgium?

[75america]

 

[ropat53]

Italian, is this the prototype the Fiat SPA TL37 trattore leggero was to be based on?
The radiator looks T13 Bugatti, but the engine does not, Diatto?

[75america]

Not Italian.
But the engine came from a company that had it's roots in Italy (I don't think the engine itself came from Italy)...
And there does as well exist a drawing of an Italian car-rolling chassis which applies this patent...

[ropat53]

Is it Miklós Straussler patent, manufactured by Manfred Weiss of Csepel, in Hungary?

[75america]

Different patent.  Different maker.  Different country.

[75america]

Pro's know.

Alexander Albert Holle came from Holland, not Belgium.  He lived in London.
Engine came from Anzani.

In the Alfa Romeo Archives, there is a drawing present that uses the same 'Chassis Holle' technique.  The drawing is signed 'A. Fedi, 18-3-1926'.  Strange is that the text on the drawing is in French, not Italian.

A well deserved point.


And can some editor please move this to the Solved section.

Would it be all right, if I posted a link to a video of Mr. Holle demonstrating another version of the car for the King of Spain?

I think you can see the car steering all four wheels during the off-road trials.
