While updating part of my now over 1,000 optical links page, I came across
one of Dick Whitneys most valuable sites:

This page should be marked as superb optical reference, by any active optician working in his or her professional interest. It contains a load of links to many optical questions that are still valid today, plus a lot of historic points including the optical museum, including just about 100 links to just about anything optical of the old days.

Dick Whitney and his web sites have contributed greatly to our optical history. He is also responsible for the Optical Heritage Museum in Southbridge, MA, a must see if you are ever in the Central Massachusetts area. You can also spend hours on his AO web site.
