Nå er det klart hvordan slipemaskinen henger sammen, eller hur? Neste steg er å ferdigstille en tverrstang med flenslagere som holder slipesteinens loddrette aksling på plass mellom de røde t-skinner.

Now it is clear how the grinding machine fits together, right? The next step is to complete a horizontal bar with flange bearings which hold the vertical axle in place between the two red t-rails.

"I was invited to visit the Thirty Meter Telescope Laboratory in the city of Monrovia for a VIP private tour and brought 20 of my friends with me to share the experience. We were scheduled for a one hour tour, but were so fascinated and kept asking questions that next thing we knew, we spent nearly three hours and couldn’t be happier!
The Thirty Meter Telescope is being designed and developed by the TMT International Observatory LLC (TIO). The TIO is a non-profit international partnership between the California Institute of Technology, the University of California, the National Institutes of Natural Sciences of Japan, the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Department of Science and Technology of India, and the National Research Council (Canada). The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) is a TIO Associate and major funding for TMT has been provided by the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation. The TIO will also run the TMT operations once the telescope is completed.
Thanks to Warren Skidmore and the TMT Scientist and Engineers that hosted our amazing tour." #tmt #tour #vip #big #telescope#thirtymetertelescope #future #of #science #amazing#technology #advancement

Endelig er jeg ferdig med viktige deler til slipemaskinen. Røde, aluminium t-skinner gjør at slipe- og poleringsverktøyet kan låses i varierende avstand fra speilets sentrum.

Finished parts for the mirror grinding and polishing machine. The red aluminum t-rails enable the grinding and polishing tool to be locked in different positions from the mirror's center.

#williamherschel famously made his own #mirrors while his sister would feed him during long sessions of non-stop work. Sometimes as long as 20-40 hours.
Luckily, we didn't have to finish!!
