Scientific paper

As part of the Australia Telescope construction project CSIRO, in conjunction with Macdonald Wagner and Priddle (now Connell Wagner), produced two new designs for 22-m diameter antennas (one mounted on bogies, the other fixed), to operate at frequencies up to 116 GHz. In the evolution from currently operating antennas, special attention was given to transportability, azimuth transfer, control systems, thermal performance, wind loading, and surface panel manufacture. Seven antennas were constructed, six movable instruments in an array near Narrabri, and a single, fixed ('wheel-on-track') antenna near Coonabarabran.
