A comparable enthusiasm was not seen at the Schütte-Lanz works because the charismatic leadership was lacking, the firm was in business so briefly, and its products became notoriously unreliable. Yet even here Friedrichshafen designers were stubbornly reluctant to accept Schütte’s design improvements, while Schütte’s group persisted inflexibly too long with wood girder frames and then belatedly was stranded in a blind alley of tubular duralumin experiments. Comparable strains were even greater in Britain, where the initial informal contacts between the design teams for R100 and R101 later gave way to a defensive wall of silence between the two parties.
