Twin lens reflex cameras have two lenses... The upper or "viewing" lens reflects off a fixed mirror and forms an image on a ground glass screen on top of the camera. The lower lens is the one which takes the photograph, and is fitted with a shutter and diaphragm. To use... look down onto the focusing screen to see what you are photographing. Turning the focusing knob moves both lenses backwards and forwards, so when your subject is sharply imaged on the ground glass the taking lens is also focused to give a sharp image on film. 3, record 2, English, - twin%20lens%20reflex%20camera

From a remote outpost on the summit of Hawaii's dormant Mauna Kea volcano, astronomers at the W. M. Keck Observatory probe the deepest regions of the Universe with unprecedented power and precision. Their instruments are the twin Keck Telescopes, the world's largest optical and infrared telescopes. Each stands eight stories tall and weighs 300 tons, yet operates with nanometer precision. At the heart of each Keck Telescope is a revolutionary primary mirror. Ten meters in diameter, the mirror is composed of 36 hexagonal segments that work in concert as a single piece of reflective glass. 2, record 4, English, - Keck%20telescope

The mirror nephoscope consists essentially of a horizontal disk of black glass engraved with concentric circles. A vertical pointer adjustable to various known heights is mounted on the rim of the instrument. The pointer is so placed by the observer that the image of the cloud under observation is in line with the pointer and the centre of the disk. The image is kept in line with the pointer as it moves, and the direction of motion is read off from a scale on the rim of the circle. Another type of mirror nephoscope has a mirror on which the only marking is a centre point. 5, record 14, English, - mirror%20nephoscope

We report on the casting of the first 8. 4 meter diameter borosilicate honeycomb mirror at the Steward Observatory Mirror Laboratory. This blank will become the world's largest monolithic glass telescope mirror, and is the first of two mirrors for the Large Binocular Telescope Project. The honeycomb 8. 4 meter mirror was cast from 21 tons of E6 borosilicate glass manufactured by Ohara. This glass is melted into a mold constructed of aluminosilicate fiber to produce a honeycomb structure with roughly 20% of solid density. The 1662 hexagonal voids that form the honeycomb structure are produced by ceramic fiber boxes bolted to the bottom of the mold with SiC bolts. The furnace rotates at 6. 8 rpm during the casting process to produce the F/1. 14 paraboloid on the front surface. This shaping minimizes the amount of glass which must be removed during the grinding process. The front faceplate of the mirror will be 28 mm thick after generating and the back faceplate will be 25 mm. The overall thickness of the finished honeycomb blank is 89 cm at the outer edge and 44 cm at the central hole. 3, record 17, English, - honeycomb%20mirror

It was decided to grind the edges of the mirror to make it truly circular, as the rough cast glass was some 3/8 inch longer on one diameter than on the other. This operation called for setting up an auxiliary cast iron grinding wheel to operate against the periphery of the turntable of the main machine. Two or three nights work with this apparatus gave us a truly circular edge with a rough ground surface. Next, several nights were devoted to smoothing up both faces of the mirror, and bringing these two planes to approximate parallelism.... 2, record 18, English, - rough%20cast%20glass

Ring laser gyro... The mechanical structure integrity of the gyro is based on a 1. 2 X1. 2 meter block of zerodur. The zerodur is a glass ceramic material with a thickness of 180 mm weighing approximately 600 kg. The block has four 1-meter longitudinal bores provided for the laser beam paths. Folding mirrors are mounted at each of the four corners of the block. This forms a closed square resonator in which the laser beams can travel in both directions. The block was produced by Zeiss Glaswerke of Mainz, Germany. At Zeiss the machining process included cutting the gyro body edges in preparation for the mounting of the folding mirrors. The surfaces for the mirror mounting are optically polished allowing the folding mirrors to be attached directly to the zerodur by optical contact rather than by bonding. 3, record 19, English, - gyro%20body
