The 40 cm Objeclive-Prism (GPO or Grand Prism Objeclif in French), now at La Silla, had first been used in the Southern Hemisphere, al Zeekoegat, in Soulh Africa. ESO, then looking for a site for its observatory, had accepted its inslallalion on one of the tested siles. It is Ch. Fehrenbach who, as early as in 1958, thought that the deteclion of the members of Ihe Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) from their radial velocity (RV) would be weil suited to the GPO then operating at the Haute-Provence Observatory. Indeed, because of its velocity relative to the Galaxy and of its galactic longitude of about 280°, the stars of the LMC have a RV of the order of 250 km S-1, weil outside the range of RV of the galactic stars.
