3Tennant wrote in his 1856 paper: ‘I propose… a shallow reservoir for oil, having a narrow cylindrical tube rising out of it, in which works a piston urged by a weight. The reservoir is to be open downwards, by which pressure will be transmitted by the oil… and the same pressure will assist in lubrication. We may then make this pressure relieve any amount of weight within the limits I shall point out…’ These are probably the first recorded proposal for hydraulic weight relief in telescopes.
