THE WAR IN BRIEF
By United Press
“The 200-inch telescope, to be used on Mt. Palomar, was supposed to be completed by now," Dr. Cleminshaw reported. “It will take, however, at least two years before the lens will be completed." GRIFFITH OFFICIAL Dr. Cleminshaw, besides being assistant professor of astronomy here, is assistant director of the Griffith observatory. In this capacity he gives lectures at the planetarium and writes signed articles for the Los Angeles Times.
“Professor Hale, former director of Mt. Wilson observatory, is the man who was instrumental ln obtaining the money and making the huge telescope,” he said.
GREAT RANGE
When lt is completed, the telescope wil have a range twice that of any other and will enable the camera of the astronomer to reach galaxies which never before have been recorded on film.
“Although the telescope will bring many new galaxies to our knowledge,” he commented “the main use of the telescope will be to study and be better acquainted with those that we already know.”
GATHERS MORE LIGHT One of the advantages of the 200-inch telescope, he said, is that it will gather much more light than those now in existence. The significance of more light is that it will make photographing a much faster process than it is now.
Dr. Ceminshaw will illustrate the lecture with lantern slides showing the pouring of the molten glass for the lens, polishing the mirror, and steps in manufacturing the remaining parts of the telescope.
