A description is given of the Hat Creek millimeter-wavelength interferometer. It is a two-element aperture-synthesis instrument with the antennas movable along a T-shaped track. The system is designed to operate in the range 1-15 mm either in the continuum or with a 128-channel spectrometer. Good beam patterns may be synthesized at all declinations above about -30 deg, and the mapping resolution is about 1 arcsec at the shortest wavelength. The system is described in some detail with emphasis on the novel aspects. A few early results are shown, including a preliminary map of M 87 and a position for the water maser near CRL 2591.
