1909 Oldsmobile Limited automobile with driver, 1939

Description:
Photograph of a 1909 Oldsmobile Limited being driven on a street. The driver is a man wearing a shirt, jacket, pants and flat cap. He is seated behind a steering wheel that is situated on the right side of the vehicle. The luxury auto has a large wheel base and rides on massive spoke wheels. The tall chassis requires two running boards to climb into the car. A spare tire rests atop the lower running board and is attached to the driver side door with metal bars and straps. All trim, lantern side lights and headlights are probably brass (standard for this vehicle). License plate frame reads: “C. Stanlee Martin Long Beach.” License plate reads: “California World’s Fair 39 3Y954.” In the background, an electricity tower sits at the edge of a vacant lot, giving way to what looks like a residential neighborhood in the distance. Location unidentified, but possibly Long Beach (where the car’s owner worked and lived).

200-inch, 20-ton lens for the future Hale Telescope, after its arrival in Pasadena, CA. Circa April 10, 1936.

Description:
The 20-ton, 200-inch lens for what would be the Hale Telescope after its arrival in Pasadena, CA, following a cross-country rail trip from Corning, NY. The giant waffle-patterned lens was made from Pyrex, then a new material, by the Corning Glass Works company. Astronomer George Ellery Hale, one of the founders of the California Institute of Technology, secured a $6 million grant from the Rockefeller Institute to build both an observatory and a telescope with a 200-inch primary mirror, to be administered through Cal Tech. Hale built his observatory on Mt. Palomar in San Diego County, 90 miles southeast from the Mt. Wilson observatory in Pasadena, which Hale had also founded in 1904. Construction of the Hale telescope was delayed by World War II, and the telescope did not see its first light until January 26, 1949. George Hale died in 1938, and thus did not see the telescope that bears his name completed.
