Question 56

For one afternoon, the observatory displayed objects that were usually kept in its archive. Beneath a reading lamp lay a star chart with a torn corner; next to it rested an early telescope whose brass tube was deeply dented. Visitors moved slowly along the table while an archivist answered questions. I waited until the crowd had passed before leaning closer to read the astronomer's notes in the chart's narrow margins.

Select two words or phrases that show signs of damage on the displayed objects.
