Tuesdays Tour of the Archive

When searching the Archive we usually use search terms like "ingenieur", "8541" or "MF" but others are more obscure.

This week we search for "Zwyro"

Incredible photo of the Zwyro, but

only one of the links had an active photo for me. Maybe an issue with my computer????

Bill

The first two links show images ..

.. but the image in the third link is no longer available.

Hope this helps.

Cheers from the cellar

My feelings are contradictory

I'm used to think about cal 89 as tough, essential, very rationally designed.

Looking at these Zwyro types, I can admire the artwork on the bridges and the nice effect the gold covering creates but it gives me also a weird feeling, like something "out of place". Just my impression.

Thank You Greg for another interesting Tour.

Regards,

Roberto

Not my cup of Tea in the looks dept

although I appreciate the skill required. Somethings are best left untouched.
