View showing the observatory which houses 100 inch telescope. 4. 210R1694 Text reads: View showing the observatory which houses the 100-inch telescope at the Carnegie Institute on the summit of Mt. Wilson, 6000 ft, in Southern California. The Institute is planning to erect a 200-inch scope, to be the world's largest, in Southern California or somewhere in the Southwest. Mt. Wilson has been suggested as a likely place for this new instrument on account of the good visibility to be had practically every night of the year.
