- Title:
- Log Book: 24-inch Bruce Proper Motion Programme (1932-1934)
- Scope & Content:
-
Lists of stars for a proper motion investigation to be carried out photographically with the 24-inch Bruce Doublet, 1932 - 1934. First list is titled "Programme for 1932", and contains program stars, several with pencilled plate numbers, with basic instructions for carrying out the observations. (The first epoch plates are between 1898 and 1907.) A note, in red ink, reads: "Be very careful about the Southern Declinations, as eye-piece will come close to motions." Subsequent lists are "Revised Program. August 1932.", "Revised program. September 1933.", and "July 1934". All these lists are crossed out, with a note by John S. Paraskevopoulos, dated 1934 December 29, referring to a new list. This new list, the last in the book, is titled "Final P.M. Program".
