General note

The High Altitude Observatory was founded by Harvard University in 1940 by Walter Orr Roberts, a graduate student of Donald Menzel, in Climax Colorado. In 1946 University of Colorado became a joint sponsor and Roberts remained director until 1960 / Do these plans relate to the 16" Coronagraph plans of similar date?
