E. Schmidt & Habermann, "S & H", with owners of Richard, Franz and Paul Stadelmann, etal., used Krupp steel, Wittener Excelsior, Boehler, Roechling and Poldi.

Greif used Krupp and Boehler & Simson used Krupp on all but the highest grade which was Poldi-Anticorro.

Johann Springer's Erben(Wien/Vienna) may be the Thomas Kilby(T.K.) connection to Bohemia and Matska. He offered tubes in "Original Thomas Kilby", Boehler, Poldi, "English Siemens Martin", "English Kilby-Stahl"/"Kilby-Lauf" and then "Cocerill-Stahllaufe" on the lower grade/model "Spezial-Model" with an upgrade cost to either Poldi or Boehler.

Heym(Friedrich Wilhem) used Krupp steel tubes probably from Sauer.

Kind Regards,
