Built circa 1910/11 by Paul Schröder at Bochum, or Paderborn, North Rhine-Westphalia. Contemporary journalistic reports described it as Blériot-like for the fuselage, the wing and vertical tail surface, but Antoinette-like for the horizontal tail surface.

Built by EA Schroeder, the 1930 Cyclogyro, or S-1, looked like an ordinary high-wing monoplane, except there were two large paddle-wheels in front instead of a propeller.

A single-place, it was powered by a Henderson engine and registered NX606W c/n S-1.
