Two yokes

A look at the top half of the Hale Telescope from a walkway erected above the floor in the 200-inch telescope's dome at the Palomar Observatory. In the photograph, it is possible to see the large holes of both of its yoke arms. The one on the right contains a spectrograph, while the one on the left has the telescope's motors and gearing.
