During World War I, Reinhold Becker's inventive genius sparked a 20 mm caliber cannon, which is now commonly known as the 20 mm Becker. Employing an advanced Primer Ignition blowback mechanism, this groundbreaking design utilized 20×70mm RB cartridges to unleash 300 rpm salvos of concentrated firepower. Though initially confined to Luftstreitkräfte warplanes as an aircraft gun and a limited anti-aircraft defense towards the war's end, the potential of Becker's cannon soon gained traction. Upon ratification of the Treaty of Versailles, which strictly prohibited German arms manufacturing, Becker ceded patent rights and design schematics to SEMAG in 1919. Founded by Johann Vatter in 1905 as Seebach Maschinenbau Aktien Gesellschaft near Zürich, this cutting-edge enterprise pushed Becker's design to its limits by creating the SEMAG L in 1924 - a robust model that surpassed the original with enhanced firepower, reaching 350 rpm with 20×100mm RB cartridges and weighing 43 kg. Although a financial crisis soon ravaged SEMAG in 1924, the Oerlikon corporation ultimately seized this groundbreaking technology in an acquisition drive, bolstering its reputation for quality artillery through possession of manufacturing assets, staff expertise, and exclusive patents on Becker's seminal cannon model.
