Extractions: Important Astronomers, their Instruments and Discoveries by Paul M. Rybski Part 3 The Story of the Earliest Reflecting Telescopes Italian monk Niccolo Zucchi proposed (1616) a concave mirror to replace the refractor's objective lens. The poor shape of his mirror, added to the lack of means of viewing the image without blocking the mirror, caused Zucchi to give up on the idea. French astronomer Marin Mersenne proposed (1630) developing a reflector that used two concave mirrors, the smaller secondary mirror to reflect the light through a hole in the center of the larger primary mirror. Unfortunately, he was dissuaded from working on it further by French mathematician René Descartes. Scottish mathematician James Gregory proposed (1663) a two-mirror reflector with a concave, paraboloidal primary and concave, ellipsoidal secondary, the secondary bringing light to a focus inside the telescope tube and a convex eyepiece delivering light to the eye. Sadly, he did not construct a working version because he could not find a craftsperson skilled enough to grind and polish the required mirrors. English mathematician and physicist Isaac Newton (1648-1727) designed and constructed a two-mirror reflector (1668), a concave primary delivering a converging cone of light to a flat secondary mounted at a 45° angle to the optical axis which directed the light to a focus outside the tube where an eyepiece could be placed. A second such reflector was built and presented to the Royal Society in January of 1672.

LITTLE ENGINEERING GIANT Brunel brought the problem to James Nasmyth, (18081890) (See More Great Engineers on this web site) who, in solving Brunel s problem, invented the steam http://www.engr.mun.ca/~gpeters/5101brun.html
Extractions: Peter Hay, in his book on Brunel, [1] quotes from Nicholson's British Encyclopaedia, 1909: "Engineers are extremely necessary for these purposes; wherefore it is requisite that, besides being ingenious, they should be brave in proportion." Thus we are advised that engineers must not only be smart; they must also have nerve. We will spend a little time on such an engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who was involved in many projects. You may recall that he was mentioned in the "Out of the Fiery Furnace" video, in connection with his building of the iron ship "Great Britain", and we will see more of that shortly. He is interesting for several reasons. In his day, he ranked among the top half dozen engineers working in that heady Victorian period when the results of the Industrial Revolution were "transforming society". You may recall words said by Michael Charlton in the video just mentioned, which were published in "The Engineer" in 1910, and quoted in Rolt's biography of Brunel [14]: "In all that constitutes an engineer in the highest, fullest and best sense, Brunel had no contemporary, no predecessor.
