Abstract

The drawing on the next page is an artist's conception of a proposed new radio telescope which is intended to occupy a site at Jodrell Bank, Cheshire, England. Costing the equivalent of $940,800, the instrument will be constructed for Manchester University with financial support from the Nuffield Foundation and the British government. When completed, it will be the world's largest radio telescope with a paraboloid aerial 250 feet in diameter and with a height of 185 feet to the top of the horizontal axis.
