ATM [History] Draper's article




(I never saw this hit the list from yesterday, so I'm posting it again 
...)

Henry Draper's article "On the Construction of a Silvered Glass 
Telescope 15 1/2 inches in aperture and its use in Celestial 
Photography," 1864 can now be found at

	http://www.considine.net/draper.zip (4.95M)

It is an MS Word document with JPEGs of the figures.  (I 
transcribed it from a *really* crappy microfilm of the original article - 
not the 1904 reprint - so my apologies for some of the graphics.)  If 
anyone wants to .PDF it, .HTML it, .TXT it, mirror it, etc., go nuts.  
There may be some spelling errors (ol' Henry made a few himself) 
but everything else should be pretty true to the original.

Regards,
Matt Considine
