Homer Kohl, superintendent OF
Chatham, Ohio, public schools and
brother of Aldine Kohl, of Bluffton,
and Hiram Kohl, north of town,
altho taking up astronomy only a
few years ago now is ranked as one
of the outstanding Ohio amateur as
stronomers.
Neither the observatory nor the
telescope which he has constructed,
however, can in any sense be termed
amateur, but are scientifically ex-
act to the minutest detail.
Kohl ground his own lens for the
telescope, starting with a 22-pound
Pyrex glass which he ground by
hand using eight grades of carbo-
rundum and finishing with fine
rouge. The 1212-inch lens is the
most powerful in Northern Ohio
with the exception of those used in
colleges.
Grinding of the lens required an
entire year and during the process
the curvature of the lens had to be
tested every 10 minutes. The tele-

scope is the latest rejecting type
and is SO perfectly balanced it re-
spends to the slightest touch of a
finger.
The top of the observatory moves
on rollers, and the telescope can be
set to follow automatically the
course of the stars as they travel
across the sky.
Kohli's achievements started in his
youth on the farm of his father,
E. d. Kohl north of Bluffton on
College Road, when he built a push
er-type airplane shortly after the
Wright Brothers first had flown.
His interests in aviation have con-
tinued since that time, and he has
served as one of the judges for the
National air races on several occa-
sions.
Kohl also is a prominent amateur
radio operator and has powerful
transmitter which reaches foreign
countries. His knowledge of five
languages has helped him in this
venture.
