Is anyone familiar with this Swiss cancel?
Would anyone happen to have a scan of a complete one?
Thanks in advance.

More than warm, my friend.
I wonder what that cancel was all about.

You would have to look towards the emblem suggestion,
it's on an air stamp, so you would think perhaps some airline.
The only "four ring" emblem that comes to mind is Audi
but those rings were horizontal.
There seems to be some connection with Germany in the text.

It's a most striking cancellation (sorry for the pun!)

I believe it marks the Swiss National Exhibition in Zurich in 1939.

The German language version of the stamps issued for that exhibition say, "1939 SCHWEIZERISCHE LANDESAUSSTELLUNG ZÜRICH" which looks a very good match for this cancellation.

Yes, it is. The four rings symbolize trade, light industry, heavy industry and agriculture.
