High-resolution VLA observations of the head-tail radio galaxy 3C 129 have shown thin, faint streams connecting the nucleus to the larger tails. The multiple bends and wiggles in the source are easily described in terms of precessing beams, as shown in a companion Letter by Icke (1981). As in NGC 1265, the jets can be mildly supersonic or mildly relativistic. The major features of these curved streams and their importance for general models of extragalactic jets are pointed out.
