Rows of instrument makers at their benches, 1937

The hall stretches back to a wall of tall windows, bench after bench occupied by men in white coats; from above, the rows of round mounts in their racks run like beads along the edge of the bench, and the workers, heads bent, fit tiny parts with tweezers and screwdrivers. Rearmament brought Leitz orders for rangefinders, binoculars and gun sights, and the Wetzlar workforce grew in the late 1930s.
