| Summary:

We have demonstrated the fabrication of a monolithic, 5-meter diameter,
aluminum reflector with 17.4 $mu$m RMS surface error. The reflector was
designed to avoid the problem of pickup due to scattering from panel gaps in a
large, millimeter-wavelength telescope that will be used for measurements on
the cosmic microwave background.
