The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1895-03-11

Astronomers have hitherto held fast
to the dogma that the objective lens Of
telescope must consist of one piece.
Mr.. l.. Gathmann of Chicago has, how
ever, built inch telescope, the object
lens of which consists of seven large
circular pieces of glass, one in the cen
ter and six arranged in circle about it,
and six smaller disks at the outer an
giles. These pieces, together with the
intervening opaque substance, are of
course so ground on the surface as to
form one complete lens, and the trans
parent segments, therefore, all focus ut
one point.
Many astronomers who have inspected
it have marveled at the distinctness
with which it magnifies the heavenly
bodies The great gain comes from the
better quality of glass that is used As
everybody knows, the limit has now
been reached in the casting Of a mass of
glass for telescope lenses, because, the
surface cooling and solidifying first,
bubbles or other imperfections remain
in the interior. This difficulty is re-
moved by selecting small portions Of
perfect glass and building up the lens
by segments ON the Gathmann plan.
The use of lead to strengthen or tougher
the glass in large lenses is also obviated,
and much more transparent quality
Of glass is thus obtained Industrial
