I scanned the good parts of this booklet, here:

Cover: Kodak Lens Manual 1942 by Nesster, on Flickr

There is detailed info on the Kodak lenses of the time, including lens diagrams, and a bit on the manufacturing process, and Lumenizing (which they were introducing in enlarger lenses first, then the Medalist)... as well as the rangefinders and shutters.

Thanks! These Kodak books are so handy for historical purposes! Is there any info on the Signet 80s lenses?

Thanks I realized as much after reading through the booklet and camerapedia,I did enjoy looking through the booklet and the kodak group you belong to on Flickr.

I looked through my Kodak ads, and to my surprise I don't think I saw a Signet 80. I wonder about that... I have the Signet 35 and 40... Hmm.
