Hi Everybody, some of you already know I am restoring an 1878 telescope where the telescope was manufactured by John Browning of London and the optics were done by George With.
Several forum members are already involved in the restoration of the project, however I am throwing out a general call for any member that has research material or knowledge about With-Browning in general.
I have already amassed a fair amount of material but you can never have enough of course. I'm not sure if this is the correct section to mount this thread but if not I'm sure a moderator will reposition it accordingly.
There is already a very substantial thread on this topic on the Ravenshoe forum at: http://ravenshoe.net/bbs/YaBB.pl?num=1184240807/75 (http://ravenshoe.net/bbs/YaBB.pl?num=1184240807/75)
Below is the badge that was affixed to the telescope, I have seen a couple others about on the Net, but not many, if any member of IIS has one, I would love to hear from you.
Thanks for reading.
