Designer's Specifications Reveal Amazing Value Built in the LEICA Look at the drawing below. This is an exact copy of one of the drawings that LEICA craftsmen work from. No technical mind is needed to see at a glance that the LEICA Camera is really an extraordinary piece of engineering in miniature. Here is no mere assembly of intricate mechanical parts, hut an instrument designed and constructed with the beautiful precision of a fine watch. The focal plane shutter, the built-in range finder, the film loading and winding apparatus and all outside controls are planned for the greatest speed and simplicity of operation. Every detail is finished and fitted by hand. And the famous LEICA lenses, the precision of which no drawing can show, complete the perfection of this remarkable camera. Because so much scientific planning and human care go into its construction the LEICA offers you greater accuracy, better results, and longer trouble-proof life than any camera made. E. LEITZ, Inc.
