Yep, that's the one I was thinking of too.

S5 (Evans) looks most like the Grasshopper as far as I've looked.

The S24 Watt linkage is basically the same thing but linked(?) on both sides 
of the swingarm center pivots. I don't know how that improved the action but 
evidently Watt thought so. <grin>
