Cooke Telescope Tales - Maurice Farman and the Chevreuse Observatory in 1908

As far as I am aware this is the not the same Maurice Farman who was an early pioneer in the days of flight, but I am always ready to be proved wrong.

 In 1908 while observing at the Chevreuse Observatory near Paris, an observatory I have never heard of before observed 1,100 double stars while using a 9.5 inch Cooke telescope.  

His observations were apparently quite brief and usually consisted of just one line of information, many additional notes  were drawn from historical observations of the stars he observed in 1908.
