CANADA HAS BIG TELESCOPE
Rejecting Apparatus at Victoria Is
Said to Be the Largest Vet
Constructed.

A Seventy-three-inch rejecting tele-
scope, which ranks in size as the
largest telescope of that type yet COM
pleted, has been constructed for the
Dominion Astronomical observatory at
Victoria, Canada. The instrument is
described in Popular Mechanics. The
mirror, which in this type of telescope
takes the place of lens in concentrat-
ing the rays of light, measures 73
inches in diameter over all, is - inches
thick at the edges, and is pierced by
hole ten and One-eighth inches in di
ameter. The sllvered upper surface is
a parabola to bring the reflected light
to focus, 80 feet above the mirror.
This enormous piece of glass weighs
two and one-Quarter tons and yet is SO
accurately supported that no f1exure
can diStOrt the surface, which most
nowhere 'deviate from the theoretical
curve more than a 2OO-1 900 of an inch.
The instrument weighs So tons and
will rest on massive piers of re-en-
forced concrete. The tube is 81 feet
long and weighs II tons. Of unusual
interest from an engineering point of
view are the dome and observing
bridge. The former is SO feet in di-
ameter and is provided with a double
shutter having an opening Is feet wide.
All the movements, including revolu
ton to any desired position as we'll as
the operation of the shutter, wind
shield and the observing bridge, are
accomplished by means of electric mo-
tors.
