Description
The curved limb is carried by trunions on the blackened brass tripod. The body tube pushes in to a sleeve on the limb and slides for coarse focusing. A mill-headed screw on the limb adjusts the fine focus. The eyepiece drops into a draw tube that extends from the top of the body. A double objective changer with two objectives is fitted to the lower end of the body. The rectangular stage has two pinholes and the concave mirror is mounted on a pivoting arm below it.
