37mm Krupp submarine gun

1. Does anyone have info on a 37 mm Krupp submarine gun tested during the 1890's? I am told that it was 37 x 141R in size.

2. Also need info on Rheinmetal 37 mm Ammo for automatic high velocity AA gun designed in 1918. At least one was made and tested by France after the war. The case was longer than the normal 37 x 95 R or 101mm Flak. It looks like a cross between a later Flak 18 and an early Swedish Bofors.
 
Do you mean Gruson

Krupp bought Gruson and Gruson had a 37mm mountain gun in two barrel lengths. One fired 37x94r and the other 37x145r or perhaps it is the size you mention as I don't have one to be sure of. If the German Navy had these as landing guns then they might have tried them for other things.
