Two points.

First, neither Leica nor Leitz has ever had a glass-making facility, though
Leitz once had a glass laboratory.

Second, there was no "Voigtländer" Press Conference at Photokina.  There
might have been a Cosina Press Conference (I was not in attendance), but it
would be impossible for a company 35 years in the grave to have a press
conference.  Heavens, maybe this was a time-warp Photokina?  Was there a
Ciroflex Press Conference or a Zeiss Ikon Press Conference?
