A solar flare occurring on 26 February 1981 at 1932 UT was observed simultaneously in hard X rays and microwaves with a time resolution of a fraction of a second. The X ray observations were made with the Hard X ray Monitor on Hinotori, and the microwave observations were made at 22 GHz with the 13.7m Itapetinga mm-wave antenna. Timing accuracy was restricted to 62.5 ms, the best time resolution obtained in hard X rays for this burst. The principal results are the following: (1) all 22 GHz flux structures were delayed by 0.2 to 0.9 second relative to similar structures in hard X rays throughout the burst duration; (2) different burst structures showed different delays, suggesting that they are independent of each other; (3) the time structures of the degree of polarization at 22 GHz precede the total microwave flux time structures by 0.1 to 0.5 sec; (4) plots of time delays against time obtained every 125 ms for microwaves relative to hard X rays, and for microwave polarization degree relative to total microwave flux show fluctuations which are not clearly correlated to any of the other time structures.
