Cavendish Laboratory

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Black and white photograph of the 4C long cylindrical paraboloid antenna at Lord's Bridge. The 4C radio telescope was constructed to carry out a survey of the northern sky at a wavelength of 178 MHz. The telescope was a radio interferometer which used the principles of aperture synthesis to survey the sky as it passed overhead. The resolution was sufficiently high that the effects of confusion were small.</p>
