Four-inch tubing was run in an

ROTARY OIL RIG
AND AIRPLANE

A. B. Cobb of Cut Bank, indie
pendent oil operator, has purchased
an oil well rotary drilling outfit
with Wilson draw works. The rig
is due to arrive shortly from Oil
wells branch at Wichita Falls. 1t
will be used for drilling on his
extensive North Cut Bank holdings.
Cobb uses rotary rigs exclusively in
the Lance Greek field in Wyoming
and has decided to speed his north
Cut Bank operations by use of the
more modern equipment.
Cobb has also purchased Beech
craft aIrplane, which is due tor de-
livery this week. 1t was expected
more than 80 days ago but was de-
Iayed, owing to the inability of the
manufacturers to keep up with cur
rent orders. 1t is reported that
Earl Vance, widely known pilot,
will pilot the plane for Cobb on his
trips, largely between his Wyoming
and Montana operations.

to be worth no more than hundred dollars
month But buried beneath his everyday
personality Marcus Brown had an ambition.
He wanted to get into the laboratory and
do something big with his hands
When the exciting news of the Rockefeller
millions swept through the Mount Wilson
shops Brown had tremendous idea. He d
been trucking ION the hill'' for four years
now and was sick to death of every inch of it.
Supposing the King of England came along
and offered him any job in the world he
wanted: what would he choose? Why the
making of the 2OO-inch mirror, of course.
That seemed to Brown about tops.
He knew the idea was plain nonsense. He
had never touched glass in his life. Besides,
Mount Wilson had two of the best opticians
in the country on its pay roll already. The
most gigantic glass job in the world would
necessarily fall to them. Still, there was that
fool little voice inside him, urging him to try

for it anyway. Somehow he always got a kick
out of butting his head against stone walls
like this. The higher and harder the better.
What of it if he did failo
He went to see his friend Kinney, the
veteran optician, and asked his advice The
old man looked at him searchingly over his
spectacles and his face broke out in broad
grin.
"You think I'm crazy said Brown.
Il know you are. But then, so is glass. Go
to it, son. Ask EN- for the job and see what
they say"
Brown went straight to DR.. Anderson, who
had taken charge of the whole mirror making
project, and, without giving himself time to
lose his nerve, asked to be taken on as an
optician Anderson had been at Mount Wilson
for years and knew Brown we'll But only as a
truck driver He came to the point at once
"know anything about glass" he asked
the young upstart sharply.

''N-not thing" blurted Brown. But
can do things with my hands, and -" Then
he Strengthened up and took the plunge.
DOC, want to put in for the chance to make
that new mirror"
The scientist looked at him for long
moment. You do, eh:" he chuckled Then,
finally: I'D have to start you in as green
apprentice - rery green, Brown. 1t would
mean big cut in your salary"
Forget it, the truck driver said instantly.
II don't care"
Anderson leaned forward. What makes
you think you could do it,"
Nothing know could, that's all"
You do want that job. don't your"
I'D work for nothing to get it."
1t isn't in an astronomer to show surprise
or to stall on decision. Anderson rose quietly
Very WE'LL he said Report to Kinney in
the morning. But understand: l make no
promises whatever. Back on that truck if you
don't make good"
Brown choked then and to save making
fool of himself. fled Anderson stood there
smiling. Then he sent for Browns record and
studied it carefully. Funny! 1t was carpenter
who had ground the lOO-inch mirror for
Mount Wilson. Would a truck driver do the
200 inch? 1t might we'll turn out that way.
1t wasn't so much what man knew about
glass: it was a special combination of courage
and care, youth and ideas. The huge new
mirror would need new blood, not experts .
Well, there was plenty of time to find out if
this was the right man. Six or seven years
yet before grinding would begin.
Brown, of course, didn't know any of this.
He thought he was competing with Kinney
from the start He didn't know for instance,
that Kinney wanted to retire and wouldn't
have taken the job as gift. And the not
knowing was what saved him. He dug into
the apprentice job like one possessed, doing
the dirty work around the machines that were
turning out optical instruments for Mount
Wilson, In month he was taking responsible
ity of his own. Before very long he made,
singlehanded, the mirror for twelve
telescope Anderson needed for testing at
PalOmar
Brown worked at top speed for three years,
not stopping to think whether he was making
good, not daring even to dream of the 2OO-inch
disk He was in a life and death race and knew
it. The minute work was done for the day he
rushed home and studied optics half the night.
That S no plaything for anybody, but Brown
mastered the rudiments of it, and every
wrinkle of glass grinding and polishing be-
sides To make doubly sure he designed and
built a grinding machine of his own out of
pieces of water pipe and the insdes of a
threshing machine from his fathers farm.
When it was done it worked. He begged for

"H HIS is the story of a young ex-truck
driver who is completing the Glass Giant
d of Palomar
The Giant is the biggest successfully-cast
piece of glass in the world. 1t weighs fifteen
tons and you could build two-car garage
on it and still have room to walk around
the edge. The young man, whose name is
Marcus H. Brown, is polishing it down to
make the parabolic mirror for the 2OO-inch
telescope on Mount Palomar in California
Brown is not an astronomer - he is not
even an optician. But for four years he has
been trusted with the most delicate job in
glass that science ever attempted and is
getting away with it. Day after day, month
after month he and his crew of twenty -one
assistants are wearing away the glass, polish
ing its vast top surface to smooth hollow
that must be accurate everywhere within two
millionths of an inch. Two-millionths of an
inch! If the Giant were as big as the state of
Rhode Island, they'd still have to get it right
within half an inch at every point
Back in pre-depression days, Rockefeller
money - six millions of it - first made the
astronomical Gargantua possible Then, while
world-fa famous engineers tackled the mechan-
ical problems of the telescope that was to
weigh million pounds and run like watch,
glass experts set out to find way of creating
a mirror of glass seventeen feet in diameter
For years they struggled and failed. Finally,
just as they were beginning to call the whole
thing impossible, they succeeded. A little
of
cast huge slab that was perfect - forty
thousand pounds of yellow-green Pyrex
glass all in one piece. And in 1886 the new
Giant rolled majestically westward in its
private train and disappeared into its own
special laboratory in Pasadena The great
doors swung shut and man began to bite glass
Today, nearly four years later, Brown and
his men are approaching the end of their
task. They will soon be able to sit back and
see their precious mirror dragged to the top
of nearby Palomar Mountain and put to
work solving the secrets of the stars. From
start to finish that mirror will have cost not
far from million dollars. But Browns pride
and satisfaction in what he has done are worth
more to him than the whole national debt.
For he started at scratch without education
or pull, and fought his way through single
handed.
Eleven years ago, when the California
astronomers decided to build a telescope
twice as big as the biggest in existence,
Marcus Brown was just mechanic driving
delivery truck up and down the treacherous
grades leading to the Mount Wilson observa-
tory. There was little prospect that he would
ever do anything else. His only outstanding
traits were patience and care-not so common
these days. perhaps, but still common enough
