Abstract
THE Cambridge One-Mile radio telescope1 has recently been used to make high resolution observations of a number of radio sources (refs. 2 and 3, and Macdonald, G. H., in preparation). Observations of the Crab Nebula, Cygnus A and the sources 3C 47, 103, 332, 338 and 4C (7 29.41 have been repeated with the receiving horns of the telescope set at 90° to their original direction, thus providing maps of these sources at two perpendicular polarizations; although these maps do not allow the unique distribution of polarization across the sources to be obtained, the results are nevertheless of some interest.
