Precision worker with rows of metal parts, Wetzlar 1937

By a bright window, a worker in a dark work jacket and white shirt, his hair cropped short at the sides, sits at a bench on which dozens of polished cylindrical metal parts stand in neat rows beside small bottles; he turns one in his fingers, fits and checks it, and sets it back. Precision of this kind, to the hundredth of a millimetre, was the basis of the Leica's reputation, and it was done by hand.

Period: c. June 26, 1937–October 8, 1937
