 * Keep This company was a very important manufacturer of telescopes. They designed and built the optics for several of the major telescopes around the world currently in use - see the article. The article is a stubb at present as I only just added it . The company sponsored lectures at Durham University (haven't had a chance to add that yet) and there are some great images that can be added when I figure out if they are allowed . I'm sure this article is nn to non astronomers but I assure you that there are few in the astronomy world who will not have heard of them.  Sophia  12:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I should also add that there were references to this company in other articles (one a red link) before I created it. Sophia  12:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This link also shows that it is common for telescopes to be referred to by their size and manufacturer . Sophia  13:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep and rename Grubb Parsons, which was apparently its common name. -- Necrothesp 14:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
