Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

La grande lunette de l'Exposition de Paris 1900 est la plus grande lunette astronomique jamais construite et constituait la pièce maîtresse de l'Exposition universelle de Paris de 1900.

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Great Paris Exhibition Telescope of 1900, with an objective lens of 1.25 m (49 in) in diameter, was the largest refracting telescope ever constructed. It was built as the centerpiece of the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900. Its construction was instigated in 1892 by François Deloncle (1856–1922), a member of the French Chambre des Députés. Since it was built for exhibit purposes within a large metropolis, and its design made it difficult to aim at astronomical objects, it was not suited for scientific use. When the year-long exposition was over, its builders were unable to sell it. It was ultimately broken up for scrap; the lenses are still stored away at the Paris Observatory.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

El Telescopio de la Gran Exposición de París de 1900, con una lente en el objetivo de 1,25 metros (49" ) de diámetro, ha sido el mayor telescopio refractor de todos los tiempos. Se construyó como una de las piezas centrales de la Exposición Universal de París (1900). Su construcción fue promovida en 1892 por François Deloncle (1856-1922), un miembro de la Cámara de Diputados francesa. Siendo su propósito principal el ser exhibido en una gran metrópoli, su diseño complicaba orientarlo hacia objetos astronómicos, limitando considerablemente su uso científico. Un año después del final de la exposición, sus constructores no habían podido encontrar un comprador. Finalmente, se desguazó para ser vendido como chatarra. Las lentes permanecen almacenadas en el Observatorio de París.

Summary from Русский язык / Russian Wikipedia (ruwiki)

Телескоп Всемирной выставки в Париже 1900 года — крупнейший из когда-либо созданных телескопов-рефракторов. Объектив — двухлинзовый ахромат. Диаметр объектива составлял 1,25 м. Телескоп был создан специально для экспозиции на Всемирной выставке в Париже 1900 года. В качестве астрономического инструмента телескоп практически не использовался. По окончании выставки демонтирован и разобран.

Summary from Italiano / Italian Wikipedia (itwiki)

Il telescopio dell'esposizione universale di Parigi del 1900 è stato il più grande telescopio rifrattore della storia. Costruito per l'esposizione del 1900, per il suo complesso design aveva scopi più espositivi, che di studio e al termine dell'esposizione, poiché non si fu in grado di venderlo, venne smantellato, ma i suoi obbiettivi sono ancora conservati nell'osservatorio di Parigi.
