The Herbig-Haro (H-H) object HH 1 shows a structure of flow-contrast condensations embedded in a more diffuse background. In a previous paper, it was suggested that it might be possible to explain this structure in terms of a time-dependent, radiating bow-shock model. The paper presents a more complete comparison between the predictions from these models and: (1) the observed proper motions (Herbig and Jones 1981), (2) monochromatic H-alpha and forbidden O III 5007 images, and (3) H-alpha position-velocity diagrams obtained for HH 1. This comparison shows that many of the observational characteristics of HH 1 can indeed be explained with models of a single, time-dependent, radiating bow shock. It appears that it would be more difficult to explain some of these observational results with models in which each condensation is assumed to represent a separate bow shock.
