Keim is a new name to me, but I know that there were several small operations in the L.A. area making mirrors and even entire scopes. An old friend still has a superb 8-inch from one of these oddball sources. Some of these makers threw around rather extreme claims of optical perfection. For every maker that could boast of 1/10 wave mirrors there was another that would claim 1/20 or even 1/40 wave mirrors.
