Build Home for
Huge Telescope
Almost Inaccessible Peak Is
Site of House for ZOO
Inch Lens.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF.-Man'S eter-
nal quest to fathom the mystery of
his being will be further enhanced
next May when the 200-inch "eye''
of the Mount Palomar observatory
will enable him to probe the heav-
ems for some $500, 00O, 600, 000, 0OO, 900
miles, Capt. Clyde Mcdowell, SUI
pervising engineer. said.
Because its 5,550-foot summit is
enveloped by unsullied air., lonely
Palomar mountain, SO miles north
east of San Diego. has been selected
as the site for the $1,000, 900 tele-
scope.
Since early 1896 American indus
try has been at work fabricating the
scores of essential parts for the OBJ
servatory. In dozens of factories
throughout the country the various
segments have been painstakingly
completed.
Piecemeal, the parts are being re-
ceived on the isolated spur of the
mountain, where they will be as
sembled, jigsaw fashion, to give the
world the greatest astronomical tool
mans ingenuity could conceive.
Peak Almost Inaccessible.
Transportation now takes up
where industry left off, for with all
the parts completed, they must be
moved to the summit, where five
years ago only the hardest Of noun
tain climbers ventured.
Only access to the 720-acre OBJ
servatory site is by road of which a
new six-mile unit was constructed
recently at a cost of $500, 200.
Every ounce of material used in
constructing the 500-ton telescope
and the buildings which will house
it must be trucked over steep, wind
ing grades from the port Of San
Diego or the closest railroad, 81
miles distant.
The SO tons of rotating machinery
which will cradle the 200-inch mir
ror have made the trek UP the noun
tain, but yet to be carried up the
slopes of Palornar is the 300-ton
horseshoe bearing which will sup
port the telescope structure.
Mirror to Be Ready Soon.
The 200-inch aluminium coated
mirror, now undergoing the last
stages of polishing at the California
Institute of Technology's laboratory
In Pasadena, soon will be ready for
shipment up the mountain, Mellow
ell said.
Three lotion trucks, harnessed to
26-wheel trailer, are used to lug
the precious cargoes up the grade.
The average travelling time required
to make the trip from San Diego to
Palomar is about So hours for the
80 miles.
So perfectly balanced will be the
5OO-ton structure that it will be
capable of being moved by an cleo
trio motor developing only l65-thou-
sandths of one horsepower, Mellow
ell said.
Installation of the rotating ma
chinery which will synchronize the
movements of the big glass with
the heavens upon which it will be
focused is expected to take about
six months, the supervising engi-
neer estimated.
The observatory and housing ac-
commodations for the glass are
nearing completion and the entire
unit will probably be turned over to
scientists from the California Insti-
tute of Technology before June /,
1910.
