    Marius Foss borrowed a STENgun from a friend, who was a member of BOPA.

    He disassembled the gun and made sketches of all the parts.

    A mechanical Engineer living next door and working at the national railway

    company, made the production drawings. The parts were described as parts

    for aquarium pumps and the drawings came from a company called

    The Petersen Bros. Here is one of the drawings called "Rocker Arm for Relay".

    As can be seen it is actually the STEN trigger! On the drawing is placed one

    of the finished parts.

    The Petersen Bros. was of course a nonexistent company.
