The effort, linked to wartime industrial chemistry, marks a shift from Germany as the lens supplier to domestic manufacture supplying military and civilian optical glass. The article notes early American-made large glass was small, but recent progress has yielded disks up to several inches in diameter, expanding American telescope capabilities.
