| Description | Monochrome photographs of the reflector frameworks prior to shipping.
All component parts except the correlator were completed by August 1961. Time and financial constraints prevented proper assembly and testing, but the reflector frameworks were assembled on the shipyard of Saunders-Roe at Beaumaris and given a few tests. The weight of the hexagonal mirrors (252 on each reflector) had to be simulated because they were shipped directly from Italy (where they were made) to Australia. |
