ATM Another fine 'string scope'

[Peter Abrahams <telscope@europa.com>]

Doug Tanaka in Washington state made an excellent telescope using cord as
tension elements and reducing the number of trusses -- a 'string scope'.  I
posted an essay by Doug & 5 images.  If someone wishes to make a 'real web
page' of this, feel free.      --Peter
