Again according to Panati, the Titzling account is another Reyburn creation. In Bust Up: The Uplifting Tale of Otto Titzling" (1971) Reyburn informs us that Otto Titzling, assisted by a Dane named Hans Delving, created a bra for Sweden's greatest female athlete, Lois Lung. Titzling later brought suit for patent infringement against a Frenchman, Philippe de Brassiere.
Reyburn's account has been accepted and cited in later references!
Can anyone find out if Reyburn is still alive? If so, we've got to get him on this board!
