Very interesting. When was this venture? Sounds very similar to what was occurring in Belgium.

SPI -- Syndicat des Pieces Interchangables. Was formed in 1899, by François Dumoulin, Neumann Brothers and Joseph Janssen

This was in association with FN. An attempt to take advantage of the large manufacturing resources available to FN.
