Interesting but this telescope saw first light 57 years ago.
That means it’s cables were manufacture probably between 1959 and 1961.
Long time before Clinton unless the cables were replaced during the Clinton era.
Which considering that those cables see a great deal of stress they probably should have been.
Any rigger would tell you that the rig angles on the suspension cables for this telescope is far from ideal.
I will check with a very close friend of mine who is a retired astro physicist who was in charge of this telescope in Puerto Rico for many years. He retired to my area and we became good friends, getting together at least once a month.
He was also involved in the SETI project.
