Yes, you are right: these three chairs represent the latest in European modernity! ESO is proud to present, probably for the first time in the history of astronomy, the autumn 1976 fashion in astronomical furniture. But to avoid misunderstandings with the auditors, let us quickly affirm the great importance of these pieces of equipment for the safe performance of observational astronomy on La Silla. Briefly explained, since most human beings, astronomers included, unfortunately do not equal Tarzan in physical strength and agility, they must be firmly supported when taking a ride in the spacious Cassegrain cage of the ESO 3.6m telescope (at the 10wer end of the telescope tube). To solve this mainly anatomical problem, the braintrust of the ESO Mechanical Group in Geneva, headed by Mr. W. Richter, studied the suspension of astronomical bodies at various elevations and angles. We are happy to prove the survival of the courageous volunteers by publishing this report, which was compiled by Mr. Richter, after the successful termination of the experiments:
