deutschefotothek

I stumbled across a website that holds great promise as an online resource for european machine tool literature. Deutsche Fotothek. 1.5 million view-able images. Around 7400 of these are industrial tool linked.
Importantly, a large number of promotional machine tool brochures are available and viewable as both Adobe
images and with one mouse click, convertible to jpg and down loadable.

the above image is viewed in jpg format. subject machine appears to share DNA with Deckel.
a "Deckel" search yields the following~~~

Deutsche Fotothek


total of 7 discrete images which may be manipulated in a variety of ways.

Germans are compulsive archivists. And this is the promise. This website looks to be the portal for
product literature currently shelved in university libraries across Germany.
