Hi Bob

That must have been fascinating . Laurie has had a website but it doesn't seem to have been added to for a number of years - I trust he is still around ?

Yes the reflectors of Hall era , from Amateur Astronomers Supply Co. were also a boyhood dream along with the Unitron 4" refractors . An 8" F7 always seemed attainable. I bought my second grinding kit to make one but decided on an F8 as it would be for a Dobsonian .
