Gustav Mees
Gustav Mees was an engineer and aero inventor. He filed some patents from 81 Schlüterstrasse, Charlottenburg, near Berlin. As of Feb 4, 1911, he writes of his addresses that he had resided at 143 Kantstrasse, Charlottenburg, Germany but now resided at Wilhelmstrasse 20, Ronsdorf, Germany.[1]
He had at least four addresses in the patent records: two in Charlottenburg, one in Ronsdorf (a big move to the west, from Charlottenburg) and also in Düsseldorf.[2] It is hard to follow, but maybe he had two addresses near Berlin and then two addresses later in life from the German west. We can sort that out when more of the details are filled in.
Mees shows up in Wikipedia and elsewhere on the net as the inventor of the "desmodromic valve" in an 1896 patent. These are valves controlling gas flow to an engineer which are "closed by a cam and leverage system, rather than by a more conventional spring."[3] So he worked on air/gas flow, which is relevant to aero, but it's not yet clear whether this valve design was specifically put to work in aviation.
He filed extensively, as indicated by his name-based results on Espacenet. His filings in Austria and Switzerland may have had more to do with motors and combustion and not specifically to do with aeronautics.
