SCIENTISTS SHOWN MODEL OF SECOND-LARGEST TELESCOPE

A model of the 82-inch reflector telescope and the towering structure now being constructed for the McDonald Observatory atop Mt. Locke in west Texas was shown at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

“It would be hard to find any more eloquent example of the interdependence of the exact sciences than is represented in this telescope,” said Warner Seely, secretary of the Warner and Swasey Company, which designed the instrument.
