Thank you also for your translation.

You're welcome Alan!

The Nieuwenhuis volumes unfortunately are not available (as far as I know) in English, but only in Dutch and German language, but it has some very beautifull old pictures in it taken during his expedition.
It would be worth having only because of the pictures, even if you would not understand the text. (I attached an image from one of the volumes, where you can see blades during manufacturing).

Kind regards,
Maurice
