Hey guys,
just thought I'd share this catalogue I found at school:
link to pdf here:

I know it's not really about cameras but maybe some of you might find it interesting.
Most of you probably know that Leitz was (is) a microscope manufacturer, this catalogue shows that they made quite a range of optical instruments for industry as well.
Most of these devices are unfamiliar to me (as they're pretty specialized), but I've used a profile projector / optical comparator (pp.45-48) before. Basically, you an object on the machine's glass table and the object can be lit from below (shadow/profile) or above (surface) to be viewed, magnified, on a screen. one use of the profile projector is to measure distances without contact - there are micrometer-like screws that move the table in X and Y, so you can line up a point on the object in the crosshairs and move to another point and determine the distance between or whatever - perfect for features that are impossible to measure with contact methods, like the tap (used for cutting threads) in the illustration on pp. 45.
cheers.

I have a camera one from 1963. M3 + Summicron was high $400 range. Bender bags and all the insert included. Fun to look at and to use a reference for part numbers.
