Happy us J.Carr is still among us. What a relief! . I want to explain the following. The so called ''Gyger styli'' are designed by Van den Hul for Gyger. The Gyger 1 was difficult to produce but so was the Gyger 2 so he than designed the ''S''. Van den Hul never produced his own styli but made an arangement with Gyger such that he was
entitled to sell Gyger under his own (trade) name. But he deed not
mark them as 1,2, or S but used the ''general reference'' Van den Hul. That is to say without distinction between 1, 2 and S.
BTW Lukatschek from Benz moved from ''Gyger S'' to micro-ridge
not the other way round. To my knowledge Jan Allaerts is still
using the ''S''.
