Abstract
WE learn from Messrs. Taylor, Taylor and Hobson, Ltd., that they have recently received a contract for no less than 350,000 lenses, totalling more than half a million glasses, for inexpensive hand cameras. Messrs. Taylor, Taylor and Hobson produce costly Cooke lenses used in some of the world's leading observatories for stellar photography, and also highly corrected Cooke lenses of large aperture for the exacting requirements of the principal cinema studios throughout Britain and the United States. It is the high degree of precision demanded by these more expensive products that has enabled the firm to design and make machinery capable of producing inexpensive lenses in such quantities and in competition with such low Continental prices as those for which the above contract has been awarded.
