	The Large Binocular Telescope Project
		The present partners involved in the design and construction of this 2 x 8.4 meter binocular telescope are the University of Arizona, Italy represented by the Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri and the Research Corporation based in Tucson.
		The telescope structure accommodates installation of a vacuum bell jar for aluminizing the primary mirrors in-situ on the telescope.
		Telescope opponents objected that the site for LBT had been moved approximately 400 meters in an attempt to minimize the impact of construction on some red squirrels now living on a site which had been considered for the Columbus Project prior to 1987.

	Large Binocular Telescope (LBT)
		An optical telescope employing two 8.4-meter mirrors on a common mount, with their centers 14.4 meters apart, which is under construction at Mount Graham International Observatory, Arizona.
		Scheduled to begin operation in 2003, the LBT is a joint venture of the Steward Observatory, Arizona, Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory, Italy, and Research Corporation, a private foundation in Tucson.
		The LBT's twin mirrors, equipped with adaptive optics technology, will provide a light-gathering capacity equivalent to that of a single 11.8-m (39-ft.) mirror and a resolving power equivalent to that of a single 23-m (75.5-ft.) telescope.

	Strategy for Interferometry with the Large Binocular Telescope
		A summary of the scientific requirements and the optical design requirements for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT, former Columbus Project) beam combining optics is presented.
		Light from the two (N) telescopes can be phased at a single point in the focal plane by assuring that the optical path length on both sides (all N telescopes) is equal.
		First, curvature in the individual telescopes cause the images from the individual telescopes in the combined focal plane to separate (because their chief rays are not parallel).

	Transporting the Large Binocular Telescope
		Williams, telescope assembly supervisor, walked every inch of the mountain road to inspect the surface and measure the turns during the transport operation.
		Work on the LBT began with construction of the telescope building in 1996 and is scheduled to be completed in 2005 when both mirrors are installed at the $100 million facility.
		The LBT team and those involved in the transportation are to be congratulated on their achievement.
