Вам, как обычно, достается лишь выискивать всякую жалкую баянистую чушатину.
почитайте лучше вот это (как раз к праздничку, лингво вам в помощь):
"Nikon Corporation was established in 1917 when three leading optical manufacturers merged to form a comprehensive, fully integrated optical company known as Nippon Kogaku Kokyo K.K. ... During World War II the company grew to 19 factories and 23,000 employees, supplying items such as binoculars, lenses, bomb sights and periscopes to the Japanese military." (wiki)
"Nikon itself states that "... it was primarily in response to the demands of the navy that [Nippon Kogaku] took up camera research." London Naval Conference of 1930 and the Naval Supplementary Bill promoted the Japanese navy to try to reduce its dependence on France and it started asking Nippon Kogaku to design and manufacture cameras for reconnaissance aircrafts. Soon the company was producing complex cameras for the navy.
Among the most technically demanding of projects done for the navy was the creation of optical rangefinders, or fire-control directors for capital vessels to be built in Japan. Nippon Kogaku's first periscope was produced in 1918 and it improved during the 1930s. It also worked on lens coating problem during this period."
