Eastland's book is so laden with error that I do not regard it as an
acceptable source for any proposition! 

Rogliatti, for instance, says, "This glass -- and a particular type for
each individual lens or element in necessary -- is researched and its
characteristics determined by the Leitz optical laboratory.  It is then
produced in quantity by outside suppliers and the glass arrives in blocks
at the factory where the actual manufacture takes place."  Leica and
Leicaflex Lenses, 2nd edition, p. 12.
