Re: TRIM outboard

[kees]

quote bill_loveland:

At the Mecum/Jim Street auction, there was a beautiful TRIM outboard. I just ran across a very similar looking motor from Lutetia while prowling Jack’s site. Does anybody know about the TRIM? I believe it is Swedish, although the example at the auction had English instructions. Were the companies associated? Would a Swedish company build a French company’s design in 1932 (or vice versa)?

IMHO there was no technical cooperation between the French and Swedish, but………..
you can always accuse every company , also in those days, for stealing and copying designs from each other
AND OF COURSE , THEY DID !
and , say by yourself, every outboard looks basically the same
