Newspaper report
Article in the journal Der Israelit on September 18, 1890:
"Gersheim, August 31 (1890). On the old Glan-Strasse, in the nearby former Neumühle, there is a very interesting, peculiar industry, as far as I know unique in all of Bavaria. Mr. Dreifuss (correct: Triefuss) from Steinbach am Glan has set up a diamond cutting shop in the same, which already offers about thirty workers worthwhile employment. Here you can see the diamond, ie in its raw state, as well as in its splendor and glory after it has received the necessary 'cut'. This takes place on rotating disks sprinkled with diamond dust, the rotation of which around themselves is so rapid (about 3000 times a minute!) That they seem to stand still! "
