This thread will cover the 'K-form' which is commonly referred to as the "Kamm-back",which is a misnomer due to the fact that it was invented by Baron Reinhard von Koenig-Fachsenfeld.
Fachsenfeld's patents were of such great importance to the Third Reich that the Reich's transportation ministry arranged a way to marry his patents to Kamm's FKFS in exchange for laboratory access,allowing this work to gestate under Kamm's educational credentials,of which Fachsenfeld had none.

I've always loved that design, remember it as a kid in the early 1970's, one of the scale model cars I built back in the mid 2000's was influenced by this design.
