Clark & Gebby action?

The book "Practical Dope on the Big Bores" by F.C. Ness, dated 1948 & 1952, makes reference on pages 245-251 to a Clark & Gebby action, with 2 nice cutaway drawings.  The striker-fired falling block action is described in detail and the rifle in the drawings is chambered for .300 H&H.  The text refers to Kenneth Clark as the designer, Jerry Gebby as the marketing guy and New Products Engineering of Dayton, Ohio as the manufacturer.  Has anyone ever encountered one of these?  Can anyone tell us about the history of this effort?

Slightly off topic.... Gebby was well known for wildcatting,  I think he was one of the originators of the 22/250, trademarked it as the "Varminter".   Also at one point he owned the fabulous boatailed supercharged "Maharaja" Duesenberg, that was when ordinary human beings could actually afford such cars.

Hello Guys

Hey Waterman - how about scanning those schematics and posting them up for all us poor people to look at.

Cheers - Foster
