Paper Abstract
The Meudon Observatory NIR 4.2-m light collector, which incorporated a primitive form of active optics, was con-ceived, built and successfully tested between 1967 and 1974; then, the entire project was scrapped, and lies wholly forgot-ten today. Since a complete description has been given (together with a picture of the finished system, on the July 77 cover of Applied Optics), there is no need to present here more than a brief summary. We mostly want to draw a few les-sons from an undertaking that has obviously turned out to be a technical success, but a scientific failure.
