Description | Two monochrome photographs and one colour transfer.
Photograph 1 shows Hanbury Brown during an interview with P Pockley, with the reflectors in the background.
Photograph 2 shows a wall display that illustrates what the stellar interferometer can do.
The transfer displays one of the reflectors and other symbols.
Communication from Prof. John Davis, 9 March 2007: '[The transfer] was done by the town of Narrabri - presumably the local council had something to do with it. It was obviously done to promote the town as it shows the three major farming activities in the region - wheat, sheep and cotton. In the '60s the town was very proud of the fact that the Intensity Interferometer had been located locally and that explains the dominant image of a reflector. In the background is a representation of the local mountains - the Nandewar Range whose highest peak is Mount Kaputar (5000 feet).' |
