Scientists assure accuracy for great 'eye'of Palomar
Pasadena, Calif.: In the greatest job of precision work the world has ever known, scientists of the California Institute of Technology, Constructors of the giant Mt. Palomar observatory, are shaping metal and crystal to measurments that will come out in tens of thousandths of an inch, and even millionths of an inch, in preparation for the time when the now remote depths of space are brought to within scope of human eye-- through the giant lens of Mt. Palomar. Above, this tiny 3-foot robot telescope, which will control the accurate movement of the dome and of the telescope, is shown for the first time. The 1,650,000 ton telescope and dome are so huge and tricky to handle that this mechanism was developed to assure absolute unison.
