MCINTOSH BATTERY AND OPTICAL CO., CHICAGO, ILL., U. S. A. HI McIntosh telescope sciopticon. PRICE, complete in a new Canvas Traveling Case, 16 inches long, inches high, inches wide $gg QO The Lantern above depicted is one we have designated as the “Telescope.” It is a modification, or perhaps better, a com- bination of the two styles of manufacture used in both the Biunial and Chicago Model Lanterns. It is one of the most compact lanterns made. The front is of solid brass, similar to the heavy front on both the Combination and Biunial Lanterns. The legs are folding, and also have a telescopic movement. The body of lantern is of sheet brass, bronzed or nickel-plated, as the purchaser desires, and is attached to the front by what is known as the “Bayonet” attachment. The flue or chimney is something entirely new. It is part of and permanently attached to the lantern body, and when closed conforms to the contour of the body, so that no extra space is required for packing chimney. The lens is easily removed from front, and can be packed inside of lantern body. This Lantern has been expressly designed for the use of Scientific Societies, since the solid brass front enables the Microscope attachment to be used, and is so firm and solid that it is not easy to jar it out of adjustment. PRICE $85 00
