ATM [History] Draper's article
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
