Fitting lens parts at the Leica works, 1937

A fair-haired young worker in a smock sits at a bench with a rack of small round mounts before him, lifts one out and works it with a fine tool; a closer view looks over his shoulder at the rack of parts. Leitz trained its own precision mechanics in a long apprenticeship, and the skill of its workforce was the firm's real capital.
