ps: The company of Wilhelm Brandt in Heidelberg appears to have been specialized in leather driving belts originally. These belts were used to drive production machinery from a single power source, usually steam engine or water works driven in the early days, electrically driven later on.
The name is encountered on WW2 equipment and a company with the same name is still located in Heidelberg, so I guess it's safe to say that they were active during WW2 as well.
