I got from Urs Leodolter the „StreilCollection“. About Mr.Streil: Mr. Streils was a Swiss business man and runs a Hobby Shop inSwitzerland. ...... Mr.Streil was a closelyfriend and fan of the Giezendanner`s and he followed them to many competitions.He was at this time an excellent photographer and took a lot of pictures. Urs got the complete collection from Mr.Streil`s heritage, (i.e.estate?), but the pictures were in miserable condition. The pictures were kept many years in a cellar and they are almost (stuck) together “together glued” and “rolled”.
When you still write about the post with the Orion,
see this post, post 1032 of ''Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth.''

I did recognize a lot of interesting details in photographs that show up in the thread and also remember these all when ever publiced.
