    This will fit into some of the documents I am working on from my reels of fiche
    Since most REL documents got destroyed in the early 50's the documents shown here are a real treasure trove.
    REL was a WW II cutting edge technology company and made items that were almost dreams in their day.
    From absolutely zero, REL rivaled both the Germans and Britishicon for quality in optics in less than two years......

    Well if I have pleased Warren, then as I suspected, these are fairly significant to our discussions. I know you will be even more pleased with the committee reports as it discusses some of the difficulties, failures, and improvements.

    I don't want to say too much, but there are reports regarding your last statement which conflict.

    Re the blurred images, again I promised Frank I would not steal his thunder with any of the information he sent me, so it is not just a matter of the blurring, but also a matter of separating the binocular sections from the no32 telescope sections. There is also some information re the sniper observation telescopes.

    More to follow when I get a chance.

    Saw these for sale recently in Vancouver: made by R.E.L. One of 75 pairs made according to the previously posted documents. They seem to have been able to produce just about anything. Do I believe they had problems producing No32 scopes? Ah, no!

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
