Photometer measurements of solar faculae taken at 525 nm and 800 nm over a five-month period in the summer of 1982 are presented. They reveal a contrast function which decreases with decreasing mu near the extreme limb, in striking disagreement with the result of Chapman and Klabunde (1982). It is shown that systematic errors in the Chapman-Klabunde data analysis could account for the discrepancy. The instrument and observing program of this study and the procedure used to identify faculae near the limb are described. The effectiveness of different analysis programs for determining the contrast function from photometer data is discussed and the analysis procedure used on the presented data is described in detail. The results are in good agreement with the facular model of Spruit (1976).
