In some of the simpler (cheaper) cameras of the 40s and 50s that I have repaired (both German and Japanese), certain components (like lens elements) were simply pressed into place. I assumed they have a special jig with a hand lever on the assembly line. That was faster and cheaper than cutting threads in each piece. They were not meant to be taken apart. In fact, you can't take them apart without destroying the camera. |
