The Perfect Machine -
Ronald Florence's history of Building the Palomar Telescope
...the 200-inch Palomar telescope
remains an unparalleled combination of vast scale and microscopic detail.
As huge as the Pantheon of Rome and as heavy as the Statute of Liberty,
this magnificent instrument is so precisely built that its seventeen-foot
mirror was hand-polished to a tolerance of 2/1,000,000 of an inch. The
telescope's construction drove some to the brink of madness, made others
fearful that mortals might glimpse heaven, and transfixed an entire nation.
