Abstract
Some of the problems involved in the detection of plate motions by astronomical methods are discussed with particular reference to a Herstmonceux–Calgary cooperative program using photographic zenith tubes. Analysis of the observations obtained in 1969 and 1970 shows that several decades of continued observation may suffice with present techniques to demonstrate and measure the relative motion of the North American – Eurasian plates.
