A new 'current sheet' model reported by Schatten (1971) makes it possible to calculate solar magnetic field directions in an extended region. The model utilizes a current-free inner corona with fields calculated from Legendre polynomials using potential theory fitted to observations of the photospheric line-of-sight magnetic field, taken at the Hale Observatories at Mount Wilson. A computer drawn plot made on October 18 showed the field line structure predicted for the time of the solar eclipse. It is hoped that a high resolution photograph with a radial density filter will allow much of the structure to be discerned for later comparison.
