A 120-inch Mirror, larger than any over built previously, already has been installed for checking purposes, to test the accuracy of the grinding. of the 200-inch mirror.

After the mirror is ground to its proper shape, it will be mounted in a tubo 60-feet long and 22 feet in diameter, with an observer's cage at the top. The tube itself will weigh Pasadena, Cal, May 10.
