Seàn Mackenna has posted a series of very good lantern slides showing the installations and workers at Dallmeyer's establishment sometime around 1900. I find them fascinating - perhaps others will too? I can recognise grinding, polishing and stock brass tube working. But no spitting to keep the grinding mixture damp, which was supposedly the best method!
