This is probably an excellent example. I attach an extract of officicial synthesis document from French Air Ministry about this C1 program designated MT-CPT4, including its 4 editions: 13 July 1934, 22 August 1934, 17 December 1934 and 16 November 1935, as well as the next C1 program: the A23 of 1936. I also add my own tables.*** For the year 1934
-"C.1" single seat fighter; SPAD S.710,Morane-Saulnier MS.405,Nieuport N.160 & N.161,
Dewoitine D.513,Loire-250,Bloch MB.150,Makhonine MAK.110,and lightweight fighters;
Caudron-Renault CR.710,ANF-Mureaux-190 and Arsenal VG.30
All the 1934 C1 prototypes were initially developped from private funds by their respective manufacturers.
The Blériot-Spad 710 was eliminated (crashed).
The Makhonine 110 is a pure private study for a potential C1, probably designed for this program, but finally never presented to this competition, never ordered and never built.
The Ministry finally decided to allocate a part of the funds for these programs to buy some foreign competitors for comparision: FK.58, H-75 and Spitfire.
