By the Associated Press. LYNN, Mass, March 1.—Success in) surmounting the first big obstacle to the 200+inch telescope which will peer four times farther into space than man ever Jooked before was announced tonight by Dr. Elfhu Thomson. No way existed, when work began a year ago, of making & smooth quartz glass surface anywhere near the size needed for this great reflector, which is equal to that of the floor of a 17-foot room. The first two methods attempted failed. One tried melting tiny bits of | quartz and the other large slabs. Then something like the latest method | of spraying paint on automobile bodies was tried-—the suggestion of a labora- ry assistant, it worked. The quartz ground into a white powder, resem- bltng flour, and then run through a ing oxygen-hydrogen blow torch | which sprayed it flaming at 3,000 de- | grees upon the mirror backing.
