The Baker two-mirror corrector for a parabolic primary mirror is an interesting means of providing anastigmatic performance for large astronomical telescopes, but the design is difficult to baffle. The present paper outlines a set of designs that are naturally well baffled because of the arrangement of the mirrors. Although they consist of a two-mirror corrector for a parabolic primary mirror, have one spherical surface, and give astigmatic performance - all features of the Baker design, the designs described are based on a different principle from that of the Baker system. A double-bounce telescope design is the key to the new system, where the image is curved and the system is longer than the Baker system.
