I visited the /rollei lens factory in Brownsweg in the 1970s or 1980s. There was a rope on the floor. On one side was Rollei and on the other side it was called Zeiss. Same place, really. ed


Reminds me of a tour I had of the AT&T long lines (long distance) department here just after the Bell System break up, there were lines painted on the floor in yellow paint to separate AT&T areas from Pacific Bell areas, desks pushed against communicating doors, etc. People in the two divided
companies did not speak to each other.
