Description: The Richardson-Brearley Spectrograph
was built by R. Edwin at the University of St Andrews, following the original
design by Richardson and Brearley. It is an efficient, lightweight, yet
robust and stable, off-axis spectrograph, intended primarily for low- and
medium-resolution stellar spectroscopy. It used to be operated manually
and used photographic plates to record the spectra, but both were replaced
with a CCD and computer control.
