I haven't the foggiest idea what the "Ford Rouge River Plant" may be, and
have never heard of them in connexion with camera or lens production, so I
cannot comment on this.  Was this a Wollensak or Kodak factory?

But, yes, the issue IS important.  It is a myth that Leica ever produced
its own optical glass.  I cannot understand why seemingly intelligent folks
cannot understand the simple language that Leica uses, that they have never
produced their own glass.  Period.

Where is the mystery in all this?
