We have a set of "hand made telescope"

A half hour, and in our hands

Assembly as a pipe-in-pipe. The outer casing print on paper 160g. The transverse rings from .5 mm cardboard, inner tube made of strips of cardboard ~ .3 mm and a width of 11-12 mm.

Many years when I worked for Perkin-Elmer, we made parts for that telescope. A acquaintance worked on then lens. The stress of what he was doing almost drove him nuts, but he pulled it off. This model is an absolute beauty!

Your attention to detail is fascinating. I have decided that the full link should be placed. It is an excellent website and I encourage people to visit it.

"Read quickly and forget?", No way!!

 

[SeriousNikos]

Zathros, well you can burn it before reading

 

[SeriousNikos]

Well. This is it.
I decided that the flat telescope will look shabby, so I erased handles from the original and made them twisted pair
