Notes: Most of this fine book is high-quality images of Siemens' structures, particularly outside Berlin: company works, the Siemensstadt model village for workers, the great Schaltwerk-Hochhaus etc. Many of these were designed by Hertlein (1881-1963). He had been hired by Siemens and Halske in 1912 and became their chief architect, with overall control of construction. A superb book with very powerful images.
