A woman gluing camera covering, Leitz works, 1937

Under a black lamp, a woman in spectacles and a checked dress dips a brush into a small metal pot and spreads glue on narrow black strips laid out on paper, a rack of camera parts beside her; in close view her hands gather a bundle of the strips, which appear to be the textured covering glued round camera bodies. Women did much of the patient finishing work at Wetzlar, as in the whole German optical industry.
