Tony et al., In Volume 2 (Mechanical) of "Advanced Telescope Making Techniques," Selected Articles from the Maksutov Circulars," Edited by Alan Mackintosh*, Chapter 10, "The Telescope Maker's Workshop," there is an article titled, "Anodizing For The Amateur Telescope Maker" by Maurice V. King. pp. (261-265.) There is a follow-up, "Aluminum Finishing Experiences," by Gordon Rayner pp. (265-266,) which has notes made by Mr. Rayner after he had used the King instructions to guide his beginning efforts with the technique.
Although they cover similar matter to Tony's postings, there may be some additional details of value for a tyro dialist. These articles have accompanying bibliographic, and sources-of-supplies information that could be particularly helpful to workers in the U.S.A.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Library of Congress Cataloging-in Publication Data: Advanced telescope making techniques.
