Can somebody help on a non racing matter?

There was an article written explaining the four stroke cycle in a pseudo German style and was very funny.

I'm guessing it would have been about 1957 or so and I think it was in the Motorcycle or Motorcycling or Blue'n and Greenun.

It has stuck in my mind and I would love to read it again if only to see if was as funny as I remember it.

I have tried a search but I get swamped with irrelevant stuff so though I would try and short circuit direct to those who an awful lot of most things motorcycling.

I know it's not what you were looking for, but closely related perhaps. I recently saw a rather nice young lady sporting a tee shirt which explained the 4 stroke cycle (or was it other skills she had....) in a four word slogan:

 

Suck

Squeeze

Bang

Blow

Nice one. I might be more of a two stroke.
