The building on the outskirts of the Tiergarten in Berlin Mitte was built as a grand bourgeois palace in the neoclassical style by Friedrich Hitzig in 1870/71 and has served as the seat of the Swiss Embassy since 1919. This building was originally one of many similar buildings lining the street. Today, it stands as a solitary building on the banks of the Spree, located on a river bend between Berlin’s Central Railway Stations, the German Bundestag, and the Office of the Federal Chancellor. Basel architects Diener and Diener supervised renovation and extension of the embassy, which remained empty for half a century. The Swiss authorities had a hard time retaining their valuable real estate, the only building in the neighbourhood to survive World War Two bombing raids. The original plans for the chancellery and the new administrative zone did not include an embassy in their midst.
This, like a few other pictures I've scanned before, is from a company album (ca. mid-1950s) that contains some beautiful photos of the construction equiment they produced. I found the album in the trash. According to the caption, this was taken at some unspecified location in the German state of Hessen and shows their "Universalfertiger Type J IV".
Going by his clothes and shoes, the person in the seat can't be the actual worker. Maybe it's an engineer or some other stand-in.

The edge of this road is 20 feet from our back porch where I do my computer work at night. When we bought the house is was at a corner of the development, and there was a roughed in road present. We asked when was the road going to be constructed, and we were told "oh, that's a long way off". Well I don't think he knew, he just repeated what he was told so the future (six months!) road development would not interfere with sales. Three months ago the D6 Cats and scrappers showed up and started knocking down the forest my wife loved to look at. We talked to every supervisor we could find, and we told a variety of things. A company this big DH Horton who builds more homes than any other company in the country, is hampered by it's bigness. Decisions are made in offices 2000 miles away. The local people aren't told anything except build this there, finish by then. The machines were so massive that the house shook and noise was impossible to cover with white noise. Many days my wife was driven from her own house in tears to escape the intolerable noise pollution. Even though the big machines are back to do the final paving. The ultimate absurdity is that this road is totally unnecessary. You can see the massive size of it. It only connects one bedroom community with one that will never be built. This county is deep into a long term drought and the population has outstripped the water supplied by average rainfall, and no one who studies weather expects even that amount to return for years. The local politicians have yet to accept that nature is dictating our growth, not their charts on the wall. This road will become the local racetrack late at night when the police go home. Crotch rockets and customized hot rods will b roaring back and forth at speeds approaching 100mph. More fun to look forward to from 1-5 am.

The job took 1300 tons of asphalt concrete (blacktop). That's about 65 truckloads.
The section of Point Road that was paved is about .7 miles long. The 1300 tons comes out to be about 700 pounds per linear foot of roadway.
The ashphalt machine lays down hot product. The dump trucks deliver granular ashphalt, it's melted and spread evenly to make a new surface.
The guy in the front had a metal rod with a disk about 3" up from the bottom. He was the quality-control guy, measuring the thickness of the blacktop to insure that it met specs.
Several trucks carrying asphalt concrete lined the street. When one empied another was ready to keep supplying the paver.
After the paver a steamroller came along and compacted the asphalt concrete. Well, it really isn't powered by steam but that name seems most appropriate.
