	Oerlikon Components Space - Press releases
		To prove that data transmission across the vast distance of 1.5 million kilometres is really feasible, the Oerlikon engineers had devised a special experiment in which they set up a laser link between the islands of La Palma and Tenerife.
		This was achieved primarily by reducing the emission aperture of the laser to a diameter of less than half a millimetre in order to weaken the light signal.
		The Oerlikon team installed the transmission unit in a container beside the Nordic Optical Telescope at an altitude of 2400 metres on Roque de los Muchachos, the highest mountain on La Palma in the Canary Islands.

	swissinfo - Car part maker Saurer recommends Oerlikon's improved takeover bid
		Oerlikon said the latest increase would be the last.
		Oerlikon, which creates the coatings for the high-performance engines used in Formula One racing, bought a 24.1 per cent stake in Saurer from British hedge fund Laxey Partners for SFr120 a share in September.
		Although Oerlikon remains one of Switzerland's technological heavyweights, the company has suffered in recent years from a combination of alleged management problems, difficult market conditions and what many analysts see as the lack of a clear strategy.

	British, Swiss and USA 20 mm/70 (0.79") Oerlikon Marks 1, 2, 3 and 4
		They rejected the Oerlikon Model 1934, but in 1938 the Admiralty informed Oerlikon that if they could raise the muzzle velocity and demonstrate that the weapon could be used and maintained by non-specialist personnel, such as fishermen and merchant seamen, then it would be acceptable.
		Oerlikon made the necessary changes and the first prototypes of the new design were delivered late in 1939.
		This is basically why so few British ships had Oerlikon guns during the early part of the war, with the official USN BuOrd history stating that the Royal Navy had only 100 Oerlikons at sea in November 1940.

	Oerlikon
		The 20mm Oerlikon is a Swiss built weapon which is itself based on a German weapon invented during WW1.
		The Oerlikon was also difficult to aim at high angles of elevation so it's replacement is designed so that the operator does not have to go through contortions.
		Although better than the Oerlikon the gun was still not up to the standard of weapon deployed by other nations, weapons such as the Vulcan Phalanx or the 57mm Oto Melara.

		However, the Oerlikon cannon was too heavy, required greased cartridges, and wasn't designed for carriage by a fighter anyway, and the Hispano cannon was a better solution.
		The four-cannon fit was evaluated on a Hurricane Mark I in 1940, but the machine was regarded as underpowered, and the four-cannon configuration had to wait for the Mark II with its Merlin XX engine.
		Some sources claim that Oerlikon cannon were sometimes fitted instead of Hispano cannon, but this seems a bit implausible.
