Slate plumbing fixtures and products
A 1922 trade catalogue issued by the Structural Slate Company, a slate fabricator, presenting plumbing fixtures and partitions for commercial buildings such as washrooms, showers and laundries. The pictures are plain technical drawings and photographs: one dimensioned elevation of a stall with heights marked in feet and inches, an isometric view of black slate toilet partitions on a metal frame, a close view of a slate panel with bolted fittings, and a pipe joint with a flanged base. A designer could take clean geometric layouts, dark slate planes against chrome-like metal rods, and the exact proportions used in institutional fittings.
