I know for sure that the 1953 Mercedes 300 SL used a Bosch mechanical 
system. This car is regarded as the first car ever to use a fuel 
injection system, and I believe it was loosely based on the diesel 
injection pumps also developed by Bosch. These used 4 small pistons used 
to pump the amount of fuel. The pistons were plunged by a small 
camshaft, the pump was driven by the engine's timing chain.
