Large radio telescopes

Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1961
Conventional methods can no longer satisfy many observational requirements in radio astronomy. New principles are being applied in a range of instruments designed for specific purposes; some of these are discussed and contrasted in this article, which is based on a lecture given at an Ordinary Meeting at Savoy Place on the 27th October 1960.
