ABSTRACT IN the years 1895–98 the Rev. Dr. John Peate, of Greenville, Pa., ground and polished a 62 in. diameter telescope mirror for the American University of Washington, D.C. Prior to
that time he had made thirteen other reflectors, in the years 1879–95, which are said to have gone to “all parts of the world, including India”. The whereabouts of only two of these thirteen
mirrors seem to be known, these being at Thiel College, Greenville, and Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription
