Knee early 1936 American industry has been at work fabricating the semes of essential parts for the observatory. In dozens of factories throughout the country the various segments have been painstakingly completed. Piecemeal, the parts are being received on the isolated spur of the mountain, where they will be assembled, jigsaw fashion, to give the world the greatest astronomical tool mans ingenuity could coflfceive. Peak Almost Inaccessible. now takes up Transportation where industry left off, for with all the parts completed, they must be moved to the summit,, where live years ago only the hardiest of mountain climbers ventured. obe Only access to the servatory site is by road of which a new unit was constructed recently at a cost of $300,000. Every ounce of material used in n constructing the telescope and the buildings which will house it must be trucked over steep, winding grades from the port of San Diego or the closest railroad, 54 miles distant. The 99 tons of rotating machinery h which will cradle the mirror have made the trek up the mountain, but yet to be carried up the slopes of Palomar is the horseshoe bearing which will support the telescope structure. Mirror to Be Ready Soon. h :: The aluminum coated mirror, now undergoing the last stages of polishing at the California Institute of Technologys laboratory in Pasadena, soon will be ready for shipment up the mountain, McDowell said. n Three trucks, harnessed to a trailer, are used to lug the precious cargoes up the grade.

Installation of the rotating machinery 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 engineer estimated. The observatory and housing accommodations for the glass are nearing completion and the entire unit will probably be turned over to scientists from the California Institute of Technology before June 1, 500-to- n FROM DON HARDMAN DR.
