Managed to stumble across this Borde 16 last week.
(Im not a collector of stoves but do appreciate them)
Had no idea what it was, except it was really cool and I have never seen anything like it before. I um'd n ah'd walked away and came back then purchased it.
Posted on Classic Camp Stoves hoping to have people shed some light, I have instructions also an unseen document and receipt of original purchase 1953 from Borde directly. It seems my new stove is very unique even a collectors dream with the paperwork I have.

Good stumbling indeed! You can preheat by the integrated method of lighting the tiniest drip of fuel when the stove is inverted but - as the AdventuresinStoving note says - you might consider it foolhardy. In which case, meths or some other fuel in a lid, or foil cake-case etc should get it going in a more cautious manner.
