    HI again!
    There's a person, Ludwig Wilhelmy of Germany, 1812-64, who had much to do, it seems, with determining the surface tension of a given object. In my searches even tennis rackets are mentioned so, perhaps, his name was used here.
    That Indian reminds me of the Pontiac iconic logo. Could be that it is from the Michigan area.
    There is also a Wright and Wilhelmy Company in Omaha, Nebraska that has to do with hardware.

    It's a holiday weekend, maybe give him a bit more time?
    Plus, he may not check every day.

    Yes, I would give a while for a reply even if it were not a holiday weekend. You never know how often people check their email. And if they have to check a separate email account, they may not check it very often at all.
