...Society of the Genesee, composed of successful men & women who were born in or near New York's Genesee Valley, or achieved success in the neighborhood.* Once a year they meet & eat in Manhattan to salute a paragon. Meeting & eating last week they saluted President Edward Bausch of Bausch & Lomb Optical Co. The event gave occasion for children with eyeglasses, students with microscopes, astronomers with telescopes, seafarers with binoculars, photographers with cameras, soldiers with range finders to learn what manner of man made their tools...
...Edward Bausch, 78, carries himself erect, still golfs and bowls. He founded Rochester's Germania Bowling Club in a brewer's garden, misses few of their meetings. His golf crony for 38 years has been Eastman's President William G. Stuber, 68, who says: "Ed Bausch is the finest type of man I have ever met. His interests are broad, including science, art, music, sports and charitable work...
...Edward Bausch built his first microscope the year (1868) he discovered that he was near-sighted and could not see his German school blackboard. His father, John Jacob Bausch (1830-1926), German immigrant, had founded the firm with $60 borrowed from the late Henry Lomb (1828-1908); had invented the nosepiece and hard rubber frames for spectacles. Young Edward proceeded to build microscopes with other Bausch & Lomb sons, has now produced more than...
...Edward Bausch invented the iris diaphragm shutter which made the snapshot camera practical. Later he made a deal with the late great Ernst Abbe, head of the Carl Zeiss Works of Jena, to make Zeiss prism binoculars in the U. S., trading Bausch manufacturing for Zeiss research facilities. The deal held good until the War, when Bausch perforce perfected the U. S. manufacture of fine optical glass, made 3,500 binoculars a week (besides periscopes, range finders, gun sight telescopes, searchlight mirrors). War demands mechanized the manufacture of microscopes. Prices fell from over $1,000 for hand-worked ones...
...Past Bausch & Lomb moving picture projection lenses whir about 120,000,000 ft. of film each day. The lenses probably bring Bausch & Lomb more money than any of their other devices. But closest to President Edward Bausch's heart remains the microscope. To him "the microscope has proven perhaps the greatest single aid of science in the combating and prevention of disease." Proud he is that his lenses have led to three major biological advances of 1932. Boasted he last week: "We built for Professor Edmund Newton Harvey of Princeton a centrifugal microscope which allows living cells...
