Scientific paper

The paper gives a brief discussion of the organization, operations, and physical facilities of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Deer Creek Valley, West Virginia. The telescopes at NRAO include an 85-ft equatorial telescope, a 300-foot transit telescope (the largest movable radio telescope in the world), a 140-foot equatorial telescope (also the largest of its kind), a calibration horn antenna, an interferometer system using three steerable 85-foot radio telescopes, a movable 45-foot telescope, and a 36-foot millimeter wave telescope. The types of studies for which these various instruments are suited are mentioned.
