Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book begins with a detailed description of the 26-inch refracting telescope and its various components, including the mounting, circles, driving clock, and illumination system. It then turns to the Clark Micrometer II, providing an in-depth examination of its construction, errors, and how they can be corrected. Particular attention is paid to the micrometer's screw errors, including periodic and progressive errors. The results of the author's investigation are presented in a series of tables, providing valuable information for astronomers using this instrument. The book also explores the Warner and Swasey Micrometer of the 26-inch equatorial and the Repsold Micrometer, delving into their designs and operational characteristics. Additionally, the author discusses the instrumental constants of the 26-inch equatorial, including the position circle, and provides a comprehensive list of the observations made with the instrument, covering satellites of Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, as well as asteroids, comets, and other celestial objects. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for astronomers interested in the history, design, and use of the 26-inch equatorial telescope and its associated instruments, offering insights into the challenges and techniques of astronomical observation in the early 20th century.
