Nice little informational video. One problem though, the K31 is not a Schmidt Rubin, the design was an improvement on the Schmidt Rubin by Colonel Adolf Furrer
so technically it's a Adolf Furrer.

Right that is why a ZfK55 is not called a Schmidt-Rubin either, both the designers had long passed away when the K31 was designed and besides it being a
straight-pull very few items are based on the original Schmidt construction, it all was totally new.
