I seem to recall that Robert Schlegelmilch of Meiningen departed this Life in 1924? This fact coupled with the loss of many mechanics in the First Great Disagreement in Europe forced mechanization to be engaged. And the likes of the Boys Kelber fully embraced mechanization although they divorced in 1927 I think & both went their separate ways never to look back. But Robert Schlegelmilch just had to be a descendent of Kaspar Schlegelmilch of Suhl, master tube mechanic who made tubes for luxury weapons and began rolling his own in 1818. Probably the longest running tube makers. But all this mechanization just took some Soul away from the firearm.
