Yale University has announced that negotiations are being completed for lease of a site in western Argentina for the construction of an astronomical observatory to be used in surveying the star fields of the southern sky. The principal instrument is to be a twin 20‐inch astrographic camera with a focal length of 12 feet. Construction of the optical system is in progress at the Perkin‐Elmer facilities in Norwalk, Conn.; mechanical parts will be furnished by the Rotterdam firm of Rademakers Metaalbedrijf.
