Description
A visit to Dr. Edgar D. Tillyer, Director of Research at the American Optical Company in Southbridge, where he is seated at his desk. 'Doc' as he was affectionately known, is alone in the office. There is a large window, in the background. On his desk are some forms to be reviewed, a telephone and various pieces of equipment. Dressed in a tweed suit with a vest, his collar has rounded edges, popular at that time. He wears spectacles but with little frame showing. To the right is a cabinet of drawers with individual labels for each drawer. A notice hangs from the wall.
