Re: ATM Amateur English yoke mounts?

[Jerry Hudson <hudsonjk@pacbell.net>]

This is in reference to Lawrence Sayre's inquiry to
the ATM list.

Anyone wanting to build an English mount should take
a look at
http://www.astrosurf.com/re/silva.html
This is a classic example, and I believe influenced
Jean Texereau's description in _How to Make a Telescope_
(Wilmann-Bell).

A more recent example of this design is Lew Cook's.
See

I thank Pedro Re for bringing the Silva biographical
material and excellent images to the Web, and Lew
for calling my attention to it.
