 specification the heaviest part of the company change behind itself. >>

In fact, this result may well not have come about had not Leitz sold the 
business and  left the camera scene.  In that sense, Mr. Schwalberg indeed 
looks to have had it right.  Leitz management probably was hopelessly out of 
touch and behind the curve.
