Said I would do this a million years ago: two pictures of Zenith House, The Hyde, London, former HQ of TOE. TOE are of course long gone, but their building and the name live on. My first Zenit EM came from this very building.

Toe? What a strange name. But I think the it works well for FSU gears. It shows how the camera was assembled 😀

In Holland Russian Cameras and Optics where imported and checked by East West Agencies. (EWA) They also sold other products like radios and watches. I still have some flyers and a small book of them. The cameras where fully checked before they where sold. There was a special building in the Hague for EWA. Here is something about the importers in England and Holland. http://cameras.alfredklomp.com/toe/
