Description
An account of the resource
Lantern slide of the 30-inch reflecting telescope after it was rebuilt between 1925-1927. The dual-channel photoelectric photometer hangs on the end of the telescope. The rebuilt telescope was located in a 15-foot domed Observatory located on Florida Avenue south of Mount Hope Cemetery. The telescope was rebuilt by the local firm of J.B. Hayes for $1560 starting in January 1925. Baker announced its completion at the American Physical Society's annual meeting on December 29, 1927. This lantern slide is part of the Observatory's collection and is marked "PE 9."

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.
