Henri Bollinckx of Brussels.

1894 Description and illustrations of a compound Corliss engine constructed by H. Bollinckx, of Brussels, 'who show some fine engines at the Antwerp International Exhibition. ..... Messrs. Bollinckx pride themselves on the accuracy of their workmanship ; thus all pins, even those only 3/8 in. in diameter, are forced into place by pressure. No jointing material is used in the cylinder covers, and the flywheel is not keyed on. All pins and journals, after turning, are ground true to gauge, the toleration being 1/50 millimetre (.0008 in.) for large pieces and 1/100 millimetre (.0004 in.) for small ones.'

Exhibited a 500 HP turbine driving a Rateau-type compressor at the 1910 Brussels Exhibition.
