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.
