Both these subjects are based on rather simple principles, a basic knowledge of which is usually sufficient to carry one through the most difficult problems. A primary purpose of the author in writing this book is to show how mechanical design and optical design are interrelated. This is a most unfortunate situation and is responsible to some extent for the serious retardation of optical instrument development in this country. This has probably been due in large measure to the fact that optical designers are generally uninterested in mechanical design and mechanical designers are equally uninterested in optical design. It has been standard practice to have the optical design performed by one man and the mechanical design by another. It has always been the author's belief that, in the design of any optical instrument, optical and mechanical considerations are not separate entities to be dealt with by different individuals but are merely two phases of a single problem.
