If photons had a small electric charge $Q_\gamma$ their path in the galactic
magnetic field would be curved, leading to a time delay between photons of
different frequency from a distant source. Cocconi's previous application of
this argument led to a limit which is too restrictive by a factor of about 200;
the corrected bound is $Q_\gamma/e\lapprox10^{-29}$.
