With a good secondary ed a lot could be learned from night classes but he seemd very young to have completed much study and to so accurately proportion components, esp apparently with little contact with other makes. The motor apparently very closely follows the FN bike but there is much more to the car than themotor. not sure if Austin personally did the deatail design of earlier cars.
Bob,
A biography of Stanley Edge is in the process of being written and will be completed in time for the Centenary celebrations... and yes, the myth of the draughting being done on the billiard table is complete tosh, but it must have been a convenient surface to view and discuss drawings etc.
