CK, ETC. On page 10 is shown an illustration of our standard high grade type of 6 in. equatorial. A description of the same will apply to practically all larger and smaller sizes. The pillar is of rectangular cross section and well proportioned. The clock case is securely fastened to the top of the pillar but with provision for adjustment in azimuth. The clock has ample driving power, is very carefully constructed and regulated by friction governor (Design Prof. Young.) Maintaining gears are provided on the main shaft which allows the winding of the clock without retarding motion. Worm wheel and worm are carefully cut, and protected by brass shields. Right ascension and declination circles have fine graduation on solid silver and coarse finding graduation on the edge. Electric illumination and magnifying glasses are fitted to the verniers. The handles for all clamps and slow motions are fastened conveniently near the eye end of the telescope and are of different shape so as to distinguish in the dark right ascension and declination. The axes are of tool steel carefully fitted to their bearings, and on the larger instruments friction rollers are fitted to the polar axis. The telescope tube is made of steel, light but strongly constructed. The eye end has long and heavy rack and pinion motion and the whole can be easily removed. #Note.#--The fine divided circles are often omitted on smaller equatorials, as they are not essential, the electrical illumination for the circles is also left off, and this will amount to a material saving. #A130.
