Kitt Peak Polishing Tool

Kitt Peak Master Optician John Richardson (right), with help from Engineer Larry Barr (left) and Project Scientist Donald Hall, controls the placement of the optical polishing tool, above, onto a possible future 15-meter telescope mirror element which is surrounded by the novel mechanical glass bending fixtures that enable paraboloids to be polished as simple spheres., Credit Line: Kitt Peak National Observatory, courtesy AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives, Physics Today Collection
