Think most of it is Google translated right below the German text.

Anyway, you wonīt find much if anything in there, which hasnīt been said by Klaus Lutz or others on the Mamod board, well before Stefan started collecting  8)

The story behind the D28 is best found on this website:

https://www.stefans-oldsmoky.com/2017/04/09/eine-ganz-alte-d28-found-a-very-old-d28/

and a picture of an old dashboard, very nice the old Wilesco's - Arnold

Thank you Arnold , I looked at it all (twice) very closely , it appears I have the 2nd edition 👍.
This was a big check mark on my bucket lists of Wilesco  engines I want to acquire , I only have the D24 left.
