Hi Aram,
No connection - this Leitz was founded in 1876 in Oberkochen (where Carl 
Zeiss is located) as a manufacturer of wood boring drills.

There's another (unrelated) Leitz in Germany that is so famous for 
making lever-arch files that the term "Leitz Ordner" is used to describe 
them independent of where and by whom they were made.

Cheers
Douglas
