Thanks Stan!
Hmmm, very interesting. Makes a person wonder why this design didn't catch on here in the states.

One more thing -- a note earlier in the thread prompted me to do the obvious "advanced book search" and Nov. 16, 1911 American Machinist gives us the name of one German manufacturer  (WILKE)  & the importer ready to sell "eight sizes" in the U.S. ( https://books.google.com/books/content?id=7e1BAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA952&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U1xu-r7Dgwz0MXN9HUvqGWKUZNItQ&ci=75%2C299%2C276%2C449&edge=0 ).

Wow, thank you for the great tip! There is a good history of the Rexos Spanner (in England) posted on this site here: http://www.lathes.co.uk/rexos/
