ATM Computer controlled figuring

[Clive Milne <milnecd@yahoo.com>]

    On the Subject of Wilson,
 He devotes a chapter to computer controlled figuring
machines. The quality of the optics produced by these
critters would make you drool. Quote: "The surface
accuracy is commonly 1/100th wave, mostly limited by
the ability to measure the wavefront". Obviously the
issues are non trivial, but I was set to wondering,
"If REOSC can do it, why can't we?"
     None the less, Wilson is worth a read.
   Clive.
