Re: Re[6]: ATM 1" thick glass at $450 for 13" plate!?

[Fraser Clarke <fjc3@st-andrews.ac.uk>]

Thought,

If one had a very fast mirror with a very large sagita (ie >5% of the
blank thickness), would one use the minimum depth to calculate support
systems and sagging? (I can't recall Toshimi Taki's artical that well). As
I remeber it, the central area of the mirror is not actually supported at
all.
Any thoughts?
