I'm sure it's all correct.

Along with those famous Scandinavians, Serge Liatt and Boord Insteppes and very clever Germans, Herr Undar Carriage and Art E. Fischler-Reisen.

A Swiss chap apparently invented something that is now used on all aircraft for ground handling purposes. It was designed by Will Schocks, but just what it was escapes me for now.

A Scarff ring - from the old days of open cockpits...this was designed to rest their white silks on, to stop them flapping in the breeze and getting frayed at the end.
