  This drawing is from Witold Chylewski’s second Austrian patent, number 69618, which was for a mechanism that released the slide at the end of the pull and allowed the cocker to connect with the trigger and fire the gun--this is the mechanism that was used in the pistol manufactured by SIG that ultimately bore Chylewski’s name.
