    Telescope Dedicated
    Dazzling white against the sky, with the base painted a light blue, the newest telescope at the Green Bank Observatory is a graceful, balanced creation worthy of an artist’s brush. The mass of concrete and steel was dedicated last Wednesday by Dr. Leland J. Haworth, director of the National Science Foundation, as the most precise radio astronomy telescope in the world, though there are others larger. Gathered for the ceremony were scientists and technical men who had worked with the project the past nine years.
