It is found that the LFs become flatter with decreasing radius. The observed radial dependence of the slope of the LF is compared with the predictions of mass segregation from the multi-mass component King (1966) models computed by Pryor et al. (1986). The models are shown to be consistent within the errors with an equipartition model with a global mass function slope of x = 0.9, confirming the validity of the mass segregation corrections of Pryor et al.
