    They were container dropped. As for the delicate optics, then have no fear......... The telescope was tested for 'fastness' after it had been overhauled and so presumably, after ite manufacture. Thie was done with the recoil setting on the Layer (or Enfiield rest as it is commonly known) set to hard. This would more than compensate for a hard landing by the container
