Detailed Description

Kraus-type mounted antenna.

Where the flat primary reflects radio light towards the spherical secondary, which focuses it towards a mobile focal carriage. The primary tilts North-South to select any object near the meridian, while the focal carriage moves East-West along railroad ties to track objects near transit. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraus-type
