Great Astronomers “Sure of it,” said Sam coolly, as he opened one of the papers and began reading—“‘Instructions for grinding and polishing specula.’” The Vast Abyss The Story of Tom Blount, his Uncles and his Cousin Sam “A little wider than the speculum—about eighteen inches across.” The Vast Abyss The Story of Tom Blount, his Uncles and his Cousin Sam The windmill went on night and day, and polished the speculum while I slept. James Nasmyth: Engineer; an autobiography The other is for the speculum, and we are going to grind it upon the tool.” The Vast Abyss The Story of Tom Blount, his Uncles and his Cousin Sam The speculum had, consequently, not cooled uniformly, and hence the fracture had resulted. Great Astronomers Lastly he took up the fourth, and read half to himself— “‘The method practised by Monsieur Foucault in silvering the surfaces of glass specula.’ The Vast Abyss The Story of Tom Blount, his Uncles and his Cousin Sam The only remaining difficulty that I had to surmount was the risk of defects in the surface of the speculum. James Nasmyth: Engineer; an autobiography Having made a wooden pattern for my intended 8-inch diameter speculum, and moulded it in sand, I cast this my first reflecting telescope speculum according to the best book instructions. James Nasmyth: Engineer; an autobiography Thus all risk of contractile tension, which is so dangerously eminent and inherent in the case of sand-mould castings, made of so exceedingly brittle an alloy as that of speculum metal, is entirely avoided. James Nasmyth: Engineer; an autobiography When completed, the disc of speculum metal was about six feet across and four inches thick. Great Astronomers Out of those Tom, you and I have to make a speculum of tremendous power.” The Vast Abyss The Story of Tom Blount, his Uncles and his Cousin Sam This advantage, however, will disappear if the plane mirror of the old construction is accurately plane; and in your case, if the large speculum is parabolic and the small one elliptical in their curvature. James Nasmyth: Engineer; an autobiography Even glass, brittle though it be, is strong in comparison with speculum metal of the above proportions, though, as I have said, it yields the most brilliant composition. James Nasmyth: Engineer; an autobiography I had also the pleasure of assisting other astronomical friends, by casting and grinding specula for them. James Nasmyth: Engineer; an autobiography I also showed him the action and results of my machine, by which I obtained the most exquisite polish and figure for the speculum. James Nasmyth: Engineer; an autobiography But—but there was the beautiful, carefully-ground speculum there on that bench, just as uncle and I had finished it. The Vast Abyss The Story of Tom Blount, his Uncles and his Cousin Sam The resulting speculum was, by these simple arrangements, absolutely perfect in soundness. James Nasmyth: Engineer; an autobiography |
