New Telescope Idea Prompts Hopkins Plans and Labor Talks

Professor Robert Wood of Johns Hopkins envisions a reflecting telescope built with a mercury basin spun by an electric motor to adjust focus, a method praised for its potential despite tremor challenges. The project follows work by Lick and Yerkes, with Wood awaiting a suitable instrument for his free laboratory in Easthampton.
