I searched the forum, but really couldn't find where to put this, so I'll start a thread here.
Fridolin factory photo.
I believe they were built by Westphalia?

by strange coincidence the (fiction) book I'm reading mentioned schiller's ballad of fridolin (aka 'an errand to the iron foundry')... so I googled it.
the first line is Ein frommer Knecht war Fridolin which translates as
'a pious servant was fridolin'
could this be the inspiration for the typ 147's nickname...?
