Krupp / Vickers Cross-Line Royalties
Cartel Immunity from the War Layer
Vickers paid (then withheld) royalties to Krupp on fuze patents No.80/82 during WWI, billing the British government for German royalties — settled post-war at the Anglo-German Mixed Arbitral Tribunal (£40,000, 1926).
The economic layer operates structurally exempt from the geopolitical layer's hostilities. Extends the existing Harvey United Steel Cartel record + the Ouroboros Loop. Apex b/c.
