Bührle, who went to Oerlikon from Germany to run the company for its German owners in 1924, had proved that he knew as much about business as about guns. When he took over, Oerlikon was a machine-tool company with few tools, no liquid assets, a work force of 80, and no orders. Bührle looked around for a new product, bought the patents on a 20-mm. cannon. Within five years, orders for it were pouring in from China, Finland, Japan and South America. By 1936, Bührle bought up all the stock in the company. (anglais)

In the nation's snail-paced arms buildup, North Carolina's new plant is good news of a special sort: it represents the first entry of private U.S. enterprise into the complicated business of developing guns for aircraft. The company that will try the job is the Oerlikon Tool & Arms Corp. of America, subsidiary of Switzerland's century-old Oerlikon Works. (anglais)
