    Hello David.

    This sounds like a very intersting project/programme for someone. I hope the Zeiss Blink Comparator and the Hilger Plate measuring machine that I gave to NLO a couple of years ago (part of the return of the Mond Astrograph after Glyn Marsh’s untimely passing) will be of use in this project.

    Hello Denis,

    I shall certainly suggest them as part of the project. We have recently started a refurbishment of the NLO foyer and the next project is to set up the Mond as a special exhibit. Thanks for those nice photos!

    I gave a recent talk to the NLO History Group a few weeks ago showing a few scanned images from this lantern slide collection which gives an idea of what this project will involve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O895siyOq7E&t=276s
