e-periodica / SHAB (run 2 recheck, 2026-10-03)

Site and method as in run 1 (2026-10-03-e-periodica-shab.md): session search with /digbib/dossearch then /digbib/hitlist; page text from /digbib/ajax/pageinfo?pid=.... The search is fuzzy (any word, any order), so every hit was checked in the page text. Result: partial (no new Ternion-group notice; one open item from run 1 resolved).

Queries tried

Wiegner Dipol, Wiegner Arbon, Wiegner Chemiker, Anton Lanter, Lanter Steinach, Kassner Zürich, Kassner Montana, Ernst Kassner Ingenieur, Hencke Unger, Elektro-Physikalische Gesellschaft, Kassner Hochfrequenz, Vibranic Glarus, Stoffel Rosenbergstrasse, Kassner Ultrakurzwellen, Kassner Infrarot, General Infra Company, Universal Inventions Limited, Kassner Ternion, Dipol Philosophenweg

Findings (all [web], https://www.e-periodica.ch/digbib/view?pid=...)

  1. Run 1's unresolved 1941 hit for "Kassner Ultrakurzwellen" (issue sha-001:1941:59) is a false match. Pages ::2895, ::2898 and ::2902 hold the two words in unrelated entries: "Kassascheine", the cash-register firm "Svenska Kassaregisteraktiebolaget", and a C. Lorenz AG patent "Kontaktorgan für Fassungen von Ultrakurzwellenröhren". There is no Kassner notice in 1941. The item is closed.
  2. SHAB 1923 patent list: "Kl. 68, Nr. 100984 ... Rechenmaschine. — Ernst Kassner, Ingenieur, Pumpstation am Ostbahnhof, Königsberg i. Pr. (Deutschland). Vertreter: Heinrich Riese, Zürich. Priorität: Deutschland, 20. April 1921" [pid=sha-001:1923:41::1500]. This gives the adding-machine Kassner's profession and town; his identity with E. E. W. Kassner (Berlin 1931) is unknown.
  3. SHAB 1958: a Philips patent by Paul Emil Fritz Kassner, Eindhoven (planetary gear) [pid=sha-001:1958:76::637]. A different person.
  4. Bibliographies of Swiss publications (bib-003, 1949 and 1959): the 1959 entry "Kassner, B.: Eine universell einsetzbare Mikrowaage für die Forschung" (Chem. Rundschau 12, 1959) is by a different Kassner. No publication by E. E. W. Kassner was found in the Swiss bibliographies searched.
  5. No new SHAB notices for Wiegner, Lanter, Vibranic (beyond run 1's 1945/1949/1952 pages), General Infra (beyond run 1's), Hencke or Elektro-Physikalische Gesellschaft. "Kassner Ternion" gives 0.
  6. Swiss science journals (Verhandlungen der SNG, 1930-34) match "Wiegner" only for Georg Wiegner, the ETH soil chemist (obituary 1936). Whether he was related to Dr. Alfred Wiegner is unknown.

Bearing

This closes a loose end. It confirms that the SHAB has no further notices on the group beyond those in run 1. Kassner's later Swiss activity (1938 Bern, Phono-Vision, police files) was found elsewhere (2026-10-03-swiss-archives.md).
