When I first got hold of these records, my intention was to quietly work on them until they were put into a presentable form and could be published on the internet. People on forums like this ask questions to which I have the answer, so in answering them the cat has escaped from the bag!
I am going right through the records again to pick up errors. Not as slow as the initial transcription from microfiche to computer, which took many months, but not fast either.
I was hoping that my KL website, or whatever, would include illustrations and specifications of all models produced. This is going to be one of the hardest things to achieve.
A yearly production guide could be drawn up, starting from August 1916, when consecutive numbering started. About 13235 total made.
Only rarely were engines sold to individuals. The majority went to an agent or distributor. The end user was not recorded.
