Hi all,
I am editing a text on stagecraft that was published in 1941. In a section on stage lighting, the text mentions "Leicas and Fresnels." I strongly suspect that this is a misprint, and "Leicas" is supposed to read "Lekos." Does this seem likely? Was "Leko" a widely-used term in 1941? Was there ever a stage light called a "Leica"? (The camera is presumably irrelevant.)
Thanks as always.
