Greetings, From these two sites it appears that the latest Palomar mirror was installed before styrofoam was on the market. I am assuming that you are asking about the mirror and not the lens. http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blpolystyrene.htm http://www.astro.caltech.edu/palomar/history.html Are you also asking about the William Cashman reported on 9/11 sites? I didn't find a reference to a gentleman of this name in connection with Palomar. Regards, Myoarin |
