Schweizerische Bauzeitung
The Schweizerische Bauzeitung is a Zurich engineering and architecture periodical from 1883, issued by the Swiss engineers' and architects' society and the ETH alumni association for practising engineers and builders. Its pictures are mechanical and architectural working drawings and trade advertisements: a site plan with compass rose, a cross-section of a direct-coupled turbine and dynamo, a hydraulic goods lift in a stairwell, and an engraved dynamo machine. A designer could take crisp hatched line work, clean technical labelling and the restrained layout of late nineteenth-century trade printing.
