Scientific paper

The difference, Delta PA, between the structural and polarization angles was measured for 209 extragalactic radio sources. For highly polarized sources the distribution of Delta PA exhibits clear peaks at 90 and 0 degrees, with very few sources at intermediate values of Delta PA. As the polarization decreases, the distribution becomes smeared out, and the peak at Delta PA = 0 degrees vanishes rapidly.
