Heinrich W. Beeker of Germany started his SHS about 1975, finished it about 1995.  Attached is Fred's quickie drawing of his shs layout, giving you an idea of his arrangement in the photos (Fred promises better in a short time).  The importance of his shs is the new design of mechanical two mirror coelostat.  His Beeker coelostat, as I call it, is a modification of the Zeiss two mirror coelostat. His design is definitely easier to make. It is unique, and it will be a big contribution to SHS building,  is compact, easy to copy  for a roof design, even a tower design.
