od head are made of brass and are nicely finished. The telescope is fitted with long rack and pinion motion. Three celestial eye pieces are included. Price with 2 1/2" telescope #$90.00# #A102.# The same as above with 3" telescope. Price #$110.00# #A103.# The same as above with 3 1/2" telescope. Price #$140.00# #A104.# The same as above with 4" telescope. Price #$200.00# #Note.#--All our astronomical telescope have objectives of the standard focal length (focus = to about 15 times diameter of aperture). The objective is mounted in the most approved manner and is provided with adjustment for collimation. #Note.#--For accessories to these telescopes see page 11. [Illustration: A 110] #A110. Universal Equatorial Mounting.# This form of mounting can be used equally well for celestial and terrestrial observations. The mounting is made to swivel on the tripod head, in order to set the instrument in the meridian. The polar axis can be set at any latitude and a graduated arc gives the exact position. The instrument is set level by means of two small levels attached to the tripod top. The polar axis is fitted with worm wheel and worm for slow motion. The handle with the universal joint can be clamped on either side of the worm shaft. Telescope of 3" aperture and three eye pieces. Price #$165.00# #A111.# Same as above with 3 1/2" telescope. Price #$190.00# #A112.# Same as above with 4" telescope. Price #$250.00# For accessories see page 11. [Illustration: A 120] #A120. Portable Equatorial Mounting with Driving Clock.# This instrument was designed to meet the demand for portable low priced telescope suitable for the study of astronomy in the college, high school or for the amateur astronomer. Every observer and teacher in astronomy will appreciate the great usefulness of a driving mechanism, which will keep the star in the field during observation. After several years of experimenting we have succeeded in constructing a reliable clock which can easily be attached to our portable telescope mounting. The instrument is mounted on strong hardwood tripod fitted with iron shoes. It is attached to the tripod top by a single screw which holds it firmly and allows adjustment in azimuth. The clock case carrying the bearing for the polar axis is
