San Serif typeface I've seen around

I've seen this in various old manuals/descriptive passages from the mid century, is there one specific name for this typeface? it looks vaguely like some sort of futura

It's very Futura-like and probably set on a linecasting machine—either a Linotype or, if the sample is continental, perhaps Intertype.
