G'day Mike,

As I think you mentioned earlier with the Meccanno School of Crane Design it would not be too hard to have different companies making very similar cranes or the same crane made under licence. All the companies of the time had to work with the same materials and same engineering techniques and calculations.

Kind Regards
Lionel
