I am seeking information regarding four films made by Rotinoff

Engineering/Rotinoff Motors Ltd, of Colnbrook, Slough, Buckinghamshire, around 1955/56. I understand that their is a three-reel film of the Rotinoff Atlantic prototype tractor on test in Switzerland.
The Atlantic tractor is running solo and is also running with a Ex-British Army 50 tank transporter trailer which has four axles with 32 wheels carrying a Swiss Army Centurion Tank.
The Atlantic tractor carries the Swiss Army serial M0826. Also featured on the film is a Thornycroft Antar Mk 1B which had the Swiss Army Serial M0827. This is a 8mm standard BW silent film. The other film is of a Rotinoff Atlantic tractor and various vehicles including the Viscount 6x6 truck and is set in a rough terrain area or in an open cast coal site belonging to Rotinoff Construction Ltd. This film is a 8mm standard colour film.
If you know of these films or have any material relating to the Rotinoff group of com panies dating from 1924 to 1959, and later to 1962 as Lomount Vehicle and Engineering and Construction Ltd, please let me know.
