Taylor Hobson Cooke was, and is, famous for making high quality cine lenses.
Apparently they also made some large-format and process lenses some of which
were of apochromatic design.  See
http://www.cookeoptics.com/history/history05.html for a brief blurb.

If you do a google search there is at least one reference that reports that
some of these lenses are radioactive!
