The lens-grinding shop, 1937

A long workshop under tall windows is lined with grinding and polishing machines; young men in smocks stand at their stations, one looking down at his work in the foreground; in a close view a hand adjusts a spindle above a basin in which a lens block turns. Optical glass for German lenses came largely from Schott in Jena, whose glasses were among the best in the world.
