A fascinating mystery! Just a while ago there was an article on the
Sonora Aero Club in the Houston Post, perhaps you all noticed it? There
was some new information in there. Amongst others, a new box with
possessions of Delsschau was located, amongst them press clippings that
he had collected. One of those clippings was about...the Keely motor!
Another thing: this gas was called `suppe', which is German for `soup'.
Best,
Theo Paijmans
