Why "Jupiter"?

The article said:

The name was probably a classification for three-group or multiple-group lens constructions which included one very thick lens element (a "Jupiter" when compared to the other "planets", see link "Industar lenses at Baierfoto.de").

No link was provided. But I found it and took it. The page about Industar lenses unsurprisingly says nothing about "Jupiter". And neither does the page about Jupiter lenses. Where does this factoid come from?

In the meantime, I'm deleting mention of it. -- Hoarier 23:14, 6 February 2012 (PST)
