Thanks for the links Dirk. I always find interesting the way the
Rollei collimator is the connection with the past, at least it looks
identical regarding the collimator used from the '50s.

Dirk Roger (thanks for the pointers to the photoscala article and the
Rollei-USA article on factory tour) organised a visit for me in 2006,
so we both know those collimators quite well, as well as the Famous
Red Brick Walls ;)

Only because it is in all those pictures from every era. An old tool and still in use.

At the time of my last visit in 2003 they still used the Carl Zeiss K6 lens tester in one of the images. Note that a film was exposed in every TLR that left the factory, developed and the negative checked.

Ferdi.

collimator "legendary?" thanks much, Ken

And also because in Claus Prochnow's Rollei Report volume 2, there is
a picture with a nice lady operating this machine. On the picture, she
seems to be so happy to do the job, that many rolleiphiles dream of a
travel back in time to the fifties, enrolling for an internship at 196
Salzdahlume Str., with this lady as the instructor for precision
collimating ;-) ;-)

I looks like they had some like 1000 autocollimators in the golden age, and until today some survived :-)
