Scientific paper

The authors have observed four bright radio sources with a single interferometer of variable spacing to investigate the feasibility of mapping sources with sub-arcsecond resolution at metre wavelengths. The interferometer consisted of the Cambridge 36000-m2 array together with a portable outstation which the authors used on 11 baselines from 0.5 to 1500 km. The measurements of the fringe visibility function show that a large proportion of the emission from otherwise compact radio sources originates in extended structure which, in the cases of 3C 48 and 216, may be several hundred kiloparsecs in extent.
