I saw the short video linked below a couple years ago. Definitely worth a watch.

We have an old Adolph Leitz transit, made in San Francisco. 1923, I think.?ÿ

My brother asked for it. I gave it to him. Now, after reading that, I'd love to find another. We used that gun from the 1970's til we got 2 piece edm rig around 1986.

I wish I'd known the history.
