One other point to ponder is that the Solar #1 design is certainly not original to Solar Engines of Phoenix Arizona, as the noted British model airplane engine maker, Davies Charlton Ltd was making a very nearly identical design starting sometime in the mid-1950's.

Likely SEoPA bought the copyright to produce it, or a near copy, sometime in the early 1970's ?
