Both of these lantern slides were used by the first director, George W. Myers, at the conference opening Yerkes Observatory held October 18-21, 1897. Myers' work, "The system of Beta Lyrae" was published in the Astrophysical Journal in 1898 (vol. 7, p.1). The first lantern slide was figure 1a on page 3 and the second was figure 4 on page 8.

Description
An account of the resource
Photograph of the 4-inch Ross-Fecker camera with the 4-inch Fauth refractor as the finderscope.
The instrument was a refractor of 4-inch aperture and 28-inch focal length (f/7) with a scale of 290”/mm. It held 8x10 inch glass plates covering 20 by 16 degrees. Mounted on former 30-inch reflector mount. Originally located at the Florida Avenue Observatory until 1966, moved to Prairie Observatory in 1968. First plate taken October 10, 1939, last recorded plate October 8, 1980.
In 1953, Fecker estimated the value at $18,000 and noted it was in good condition with the exception of outside surface paint scaling. Many of the plates are now at Yerkes Observatory where they will be digitized and preserved. Baker and his students, which included Elaine Nantkes, Lois Keifer, David Heeschen and Alan Sandage, published 7 papers in the Astrophysical Journal on the analysis of the Milky Way in Cassiopeia, Ophiuchus, Sagittarius, Auriga, Aquila, Cepheus and Perseus. This was the principal research in astronomy done at the University of Illinois from 1939 until 1951. Approximately 4000 photographs were taken with the camera.
The finderscope was a 4-inch Fauth refractor purchased in 1896. The receipt identifies it as an “Outfit” equatorial consistent with the 1893 Saegmuller catalog. "The smaller equatorial has an aperture of 4 inches and a focal length of 6 feet. It is provided with graduated circles of 6 inches diameter in both right ascension and declination, the former reading by two verniers to single minutes and the latter, also by two verniers to five minutes of arc. It is further supplied with a driving clock and finder and is mounted by means of a circular cast iron column 6 feet high which rests on a masonry pier, the whole being covered by a shed carried on rollers which may be easily and quickly pushed entirely away from the instrument."

Description
An account of the resource
Lantern slide of the 30-inch reflecting telescope purchased in 1914. The mirror had a focal length of 20-inches and was made by John Brashear. The mount might also be by Brashear. This lantern slide is part of the Observatory's collection and is marked "O 60."
According to a 1914 article in the Urbana Daily Courier, the telescope "has been in use in Washington D.C. for some time but is now in the Metal Shop awaiting the completion of the new observatory where it will be installed. The telescope has been used for condensing the rays of the sun onto a mirror. The instrument has been used to melt platinum which requires about 1775 degrees Centigrade. The mirror was a diameter of thirty inches. The focus is very short so that there is a maximum of light-gathering properties making it a huge burning glass. It has been set up at the Metal Shops and carefully tested. It was constructed by the John Brashear Company of Pittsburgh." The goal for this new telescope was to have it equipped with a photoelectric photometer.
