Yup, the little white dot plinked away some time ago. Midland had some
surprising high tech for a while. Leitz had their lens and camera
factory there. I'd heard it was originally to secure a supply of optical
balsam for lens manufacture, but this may not be the case. Some of
Leica's signature lens designs originated in Midland. It's now owned by
Raytheon.
