1970234811970. California metal foundry photo archive depicting integrated casting and machining operations during the decade when the state's traditional ironworks industry entered rapid decline under new environmental regulation OSHA enforcement foreign competition and industrial automation. California supported more than 2000 foundries during the mid twentieth century supplying cast metal components for construction transportation agricultural machinery shipbuilding and regional manufacturing before widespread closures accelerated during the late 1970s and 1980s. Passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act in 1970 and expansion of California air pollution controls brought intensified scrutiny to foundries because of silica dust exposure furnace emissions grinding particulates and high heat production environments. The archive preserves the internal workflow of a functioning foundry and machine shop while older labor-intensive production methods were beginning to disappear from California industry.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 17 large chromogenic color photographs 8 x 10 inches California circa 1970s. Red operational captions identify sequential production stages including "Boring mill" "Sand-mill" "Charging" "Toe-miller" "Grinder" "Lining" "Furnace" "Molding" and "Shakeout" effectively tracing the movement of cast metal components from mold preparation through machining and finishing. Workers wearing respirators protective shields heavy gloves and denim work uniforms operate grinders shovel molding sand feed conveyor furnace systems remove excess metal from castings and handle large industrial molds amid accumulations of casting residue and metal dust. Several interiors show overhead ventilation systems brick-lined furnace structures steel rollers suspended piping electrical conduit and heavy machining equipment associated with mid century foundry production before widespread computerized automation transformed the industry.<br /> <br /> The boring mill and toe milling stations distinguish the archive from generic factory photography by documenting on-site post-casting precision machining alongside furnace and molding operations preserving a nearly complete industrial production chain inside a single plant. Light surface wear and minor color fading; several prints with slight corner wear. Overall in very good condition. The archive captures a form of California heavy industry that largely disappeared within a generation as foundries closed relocated or converted to smaller automated production systems. unknown
55671Berlin: Norddeutsche Schriftgießerei GmbH Tilsiter Straße 22 ca. 1931. Large octavo 24.9 × 19 cm. Original staple-stitched gray wrappers printed in red and black; 16 pp. Minor toning and foxing to wrappers; still very good. Appealing promotional specimen by this Berlin type foundry which was known primarily for its modernist sans-serif Grotesk typefaces including Reichsgrotesk Wotangrotesk and Lessing-Grotesk. The introductory text contextualizes the foundry's main focus: "Every era has its own rhythm which becomes a visible form of expression through human perception . The profound transformations in our worldview have led people to the purest and most natural understanding of their feelings-to simplicity clarity and practicality. In typography the unadorned forms of the Grotesk typeface have prevailed in contemporary design giving expression to the spirit of the times" p. 3.<br /> <br /> The exact publication date remains unclear but given the inclusion of publisher's ads for several contemporary novels as typograpy use cases it was printed no earlier than 1931. An article by type historian Dan Reynolds chronicles the history and later fate of the type foundry which was founded in 1921. Being situated in East Germany after World War II it was eventually expropriated and incorporated into the VEB Typoart. See "The Norddeutsche Schriftgießerei and VEB Typoart" https://www.typeoff.de/2018/04/norddeutsche-schriftgieserei-veb-typoart/.<br /> <br /> As of April 2026 KVK OCLC only show the copy or copies at the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek Leipzig. unknown
