I'd say the latter as Georg Lindner shouldn't have had any need to source Britain less for tubes. Charles Daly is the key and it is possible he is using these Scott components as a litmus test to determine who he wants to run "his factory in Suhl". Not sure how he picked his mechanics, but I'm sure there was some process. Either Lindner may have played more a role of quality control and sourcing all the effort along family lines. I don't think there's an adequate number of Sauer marks to say a lot went on with Sauer with this piece but some effort may have occurred there. But there was a very close working relationship with the Lindners and J.P. Sauer.
