Das Giessinstrument
Das Giessinstrument is a German treatise on typefounding by Friedrich Bauer, published in 1922 and reissued as a digital reprint, aimed at printers and type founders working by hand. The plate shows numbered engravings of hand mould parts, including jaws, blocks and hinged frames drawn in plan and elevation, which a designer could use as a reference for mechanical, industrial or letterpress-era line drawing with a clean, technical, labelled look.
