Lens blocks on the polishing bench, 1937

On the polishing bench two domed blocks studded with lenses lie beside a turning spindle and a sponge; a worker's arm reaches in, lifts a cup-shaped tool from the rotating block and sets it back, while the lenses on the finished block catch the light like rows of small moons. The shots have the careful composition of an industrial photograph.
