Abstract
W. A. P. FISHER has recently described1 a tiltedplate compensator which employed a plate of CR 39 resin in place of the usual calcite or quartz. This substitution permitted the development of apparatus of large aperture, although the material is not quite uniform and needs to be rather thick, so that the possible effect of lateral displacement must be considered.
