I made a very rough translation of this using http://translate.google.com/translate_t It was somewhat readable, but not good enough to post plus too long.

I don't know if the autors published this workpaper or not. I considered to scan this workpaper but because of lack of time I did not. Recently in an Europeen forum the question of how to build a crossflow showed up. I then made seweral hardcopys and shipped them. One of the receivers is living right in the neighborhood and we came up that he will scan in the document and put it on the wep. And he made it very well, text is even copyable!! Due to this discussion here I remember about this and I would like to give the link to this document(s). Unvortunately for most of you it is in German language, but with some technical skill you will only need the tables and drawings. Maybe, the paper will be a good starting point for Manfreds efforts to make puplic how to make a crossflow. http://www.maurelma.ch/download.htm I hope to give a little input. I considered about the original authors copyright but I could not find them for asking since I'm not a dedective. But I tought that their intention was to make some development help and this only can happen when the paper is puplished and not by vanishing in one of my drawers. So I hope to have done the right. Manfred, ich hoffe das Dokument ist für Dich und deinen Kollegen eine gute Basis, falls Du fragen hast, kannst Du mir auch direkt mailen.
