Campbell (1861-1939), the original owner, may have been the first physician in Michigan to own and use an X-ray machine.
label: Description
content: Emil Gundelach (1821-1888) was born into a German glass working family and, after apprenticing with the instrument maker, Franz Ferdinand Greiner, established his own workshop in Stutzerbach, his native town. In 1852 he moved to Gehlberg, a village in Thuringa with a large glass making tradition. In time, Gundelach’s sons Eugen and Max took over the business. The symbol of the firm was a capitol G with a scale.
