"This Object Poster for Basel's Petitjean supply house and its selection of Clus Ironworks transmission parts carries an educational benefit: although most people might not have been able to identify transmission parts prior to viewing this poster, Stoecklin's unembellished artwork gives them a bit of knowledge. The Clus (or Klus) Ironworks was located in the north-central Swiss municipality of Balsthal. It manufactored not only transmissions for mills and railways but also an array of products for the military" (Crouse p. 98). Crouse p. 98, Stoecklin 42.
