De Young, D. S. ; Hogg, D. E. ; Wilkes, C. T. Abstract High-resolution aperture synthesis maps at 2.7 and 8.1 GHz are presented for 3C 52, 3C 69, 3C 109, 3C 219, 3C 274, 3C 330, 3C 388, and 3C 405. Both total intensity and polarization maps are given, together with the distributions of spectral index and rotation measure for these sources. Minimum energies, magnetic fields, and masses are derived, and the implications of the data are compared with current theoretical ideas. Of particular interest are the results for 3C 219 and 3C 388: the former may present difficulties for beam-type models, and the latter appears to show definite interaction with a surrounding medium.
