...antenna has a dish 85 feet in diameter made of giant metal plate rather that simple wire mesh. The massive structure, aptly described as a "moveable bridge" can be pointed at any spot in the sky by throwing a switch in the laboratory which has been constructed nearby. Unlike the sweep-frequency receivers, this instrument can only do observations at 950-megacycles (L-band) and 5,000 megacycles (C-band).

Both badly need to strengthen their competitive positions, particularly since the rich Chesapeake & Ohio has already gained ICC approval to control the Baltimore & Ohio, and the well-run Norfolk & Western appears certain to win an O.K. to merge with the Wabash and Nickel Plate...
