Ah yes, I remember the days when we used to have those elegant, formal affairs at the Observatory.
Check out the telescope on the cover of this 1955 book about Aluminum at Disneyland:

So the telescope is made of aluminum?
Wow, that Disney book on aluminum is pretty cool, but I don't think that is a Palomar telescope on the cover.
Telescopes mirrors are coated with aluminum.
