This 21 cm cube is a textbook case of a spiral galaxy rotation curve. The AIPS task GAL was developed and debugged using this observation as the test data. The cube has also been used extensively by the AIPS Group for testing ``movie loop'' display code and for various visualization experiments. The 1.1 Jy quasar 1749 70.1 was within the primary beam at L band. The quasar totally dominated the dirty maps, its sidelobes being about 10x brighter than the 21 cm galaxy emission. The 6 MHz continuum map delivered with the cube was subtracted from each of the 31 planes of the cube, and the quasar disappeared completely.
