| I have the figure of 5,920 Olympus employees worldwide, "including Olympus
| subsidiaries" (such as local sales people) as of Oct 31, 1980. That's for
the
| entire company, not just cameras.
| "Cameras, Microscopes, Medical Endoscopes, Industrial Borescopes, Tape
| Recorders, Copiers, Laser-optical Videodisc Pickup System, Measuring
| Equipment, Clinical Analysis Equipment, etc."
|
| Perhaps they meant Canon's R&D was the size of Olympus Camera Co.
