Re: Cell for Square Tube Assembly?

[Bob Madden <madden@netcom.com>]

James,

Have you ever looked a Richard's Berry book, "Build Your Own 
Telescope"? You can find your answer there. Use a round wooden disk to hold 
your mirror and spring load it to a square back plate that is attached to your 
square tube. You know the three bolt method.

Friendly Bob
