Index by Location - Brass and Glass: Optical Instruments and Their Makers


 Brass and Glass: Optical Instruments and Their Makers contains over three thousand alphabetically listed entries, many of which are for companies or people who were makers of optical instruments.

So, how do you find who the instrument makers were from the USA, or Germany, or London, or another country of interest?

In this post, you will find an index of the makers ordered by country and region. Since this is quite large, I have also provided indices for some countries as separate lists. Each is provided here as a link to a PDF file in Dropbox. You don't need to log on to Dropbox - just click on the link to view the file, and use the download feature if you wish to keep a copy of the file.

These indices were prepared by hand. If you spot any typographical errors, ommissions, or errors, please let me know.
