together; Details of the structure and of the structural members; special nodes and their arrangement; A paper, with diagrams, on the mirror panels and their economical production. This paper was written in June 1997 and represents latest thinking on the subject. The preferred method of construction is that indicated in relation to Figure 7 of this paper. There are many options which could be used but the approach favored has considerable advantage, especially with respect to materials, configuration and cost. It should be stressed that what we are calling the 'Power Dish' is simpler than SG3 and is more cost-effective. I would prefer very soon to discuss practical 'Power Dishes' with Goninan's to identify the most favorable practicable path for the immediate future, rather than dwelling too long on SG3.
