De efficiency der Nederlandsche Spoorwegen, c1950?

"De efficiency der Nederlandsche Spoorwegen" - the efficiency of the Dutch Railways.

 

An isolated page from what looks like a wider binder (given the punch holes) and a fine mid-20th graphic to show in almost Isotype diagram form the relationship between factory and market via the railway. I've no attribution for this and no date - but it feels post-WW2. That said, such Isotype style images were starting to be used in immediate post-WW2 years and the Netherlands graphic design community was recognised as being very contemporary in design terms. The lower graphic shows a stylised wheel and speed - the "Mercury" wings have often be used for transport.

 

Anyhow, I'm hoping someone can cast some light on this!
