The larger telescopes will ofier more tÏan one focal ratio through the use of secondary mirrors, and will provide for large and healy analyzing equipment at a ffxed coudé focus. Fields of view somewhat larger than the fraction of a degree previously customary can be achieved by slight deparhrre from conic seetions in the primary and secondary minors, or by improved correctol lenses placed a short distance ahead of the focal plane.

More than one arrangáment has been made to work well by the nuclear physicists in tÏe opurutiott of particle accelerators. But whatever schemes are adopteil to bimg the nation's Iargest telescopes and talented astronomers together, the prinãiple of equality of opportunity must, at this level, be subordinated to ãn insistence on performance-to the requirement of excellence at the top' A GIANT TELESCOPE ENGINEEAING STUDT FOR The Panel recommends that as soon as tlle three large telescopes for the next decade are ulder way, a representative stuily group be assembleil to consider the problems of buildÍng a telescope of the largest feasible size, to decide on practícal design concepts, and to prepare a cost estimate for the design adopted.
