I was wondering when Ilex and Wollensak stopped making lenses for press and view camera applications?

When did Ilex stop making shutters suitable for view camera lenses?

I dont know but I want to guess. I'll guess 1964, +/- 5 years for Wollensak, based on nothing more than gut feeling.

Dohh! I was close, 1972, assuming they made them to the end that is.
