As far as can be established, Samson made range of three grinding machines: one, a horizontal spindle model not unlike the early American Brown & Sharp and Robot designs and two with vertical spindles. All were equipped with normal-for-the-era mechanical table drives and variable-rate, automatic indexing by ratchet drive.
"Samson" machine tools were manufactured by the oddly named General Composing Company G.m.b.H. whose factory and offices were at 189/143 Jacobstrasse, Berlin SW68. According to research by Hans Lembke, of  Berlin, "The General Composing Company (Berlin), was part of a larger enterprise, the Koppel Group. Herr Koppel started by fabricating cartons, then turned to gas and electric lighting (Osram), before building his multiple branches conglomerate. The Composing Company was set up to take over from a poorly performing US-Monoline licensee, founded by Koppel and his companions, for fabricating composing machines. At the same, it became a manufacturer and distributor of machine tools, booming during WW I and renamed Samsonwerke in 1915, when it was no longer opportune for a German firm to carry an English name. All Samson trademarks, which had been registered for GCC since 1909, were transferred to Samsonwerke. There were two key developers at GCC / Samsonwerke: Heinrich Degener for composing machines and Karl Jung for machine tools, mainly grinding machines. In 1919 the latter founded the Jung company, which still is active in the field of high precision grinding machines (see: Jung)
The company also listed, in various contemporary advertisements, a shaping machine - possibly the only model they were to offer.
