Several other obscure names: Banki-Csonka, Padvinecz-Heilser and Nandor Hora. Do they say anything? :)

Dónát Bánki and János Csonka "invented" the spray carburetor in 1893, but I am beginning to have doubts about them being first on this field. BTW is anyone living near London?
Podvinecz and Heisler was the predecessor of MÁG, which built cars like the Magotax, Magomobil, Magosix and Magosupersix. P&H built a few cars between 1905-1912.
Yes, I live fairly near.

FYI, this is the 1-cylinder car of Csonka, which the Haris Brothers based their scale model on. I'd say they were very far off the mark.
