The Macneil fog-eye, like the Macneil thermoelectric sextant perfected last year (TIME, July 25), functions according to Commander Macneil's thesis that every object not at Absolute Zero (-459.4° F.) radiates heat-like infra-red rays. A two-foot, concave, silvered glass mirror in the fog-eye collects infra-red radiations of objects, focuses the rays on a sensitive thermocouple which translates the infra red rays into faint currents of electricity. A compact amplifier which Physicist Edward Elway Free built for Commander Macneil, builds up the fog-eye's currents until they...

The mirror is the third largest of its kind in the United States, and when finally mounted at the Oak Ridge station in Harvard, Massachusetts, will make up one of the largest telescopes in the eastern part of the country. It has been used in Cambridge for several years, but on account of the city lights and dusty atmosphere observation with...
