Description:Following NSF final approval in February 1965 and 2.5 years of construction on Kitt Peak AZ, NRAO's 36 foot telescope began formal operation in January 1968. From the start, there were frequent improvements and replacements to the system, initiated by the talented technical staff in Tucson and Charlottesville. In late 1977, Tucson staff installed a new Cassegrain box and new 150 GHz quasi-optics. In this photo from that installation process, the old receiver control rack has been lifted across the dome by Bill Hale (left on the platform) and Don Cardarella (right on the platform), who lower the rack to Bob Freund; Bob will wheel it into the electronics building seen to the right of the dome. Before the electronics building was completed in 1976, staff had to haul delicate electronics down the mountain to Tucson and then back up again, a trip that was both time-consuming and risky for the equipment.

Description:The 42 Foot portable telescope’s trailer carried the dish as stacked panels and also integrated the telescope’s donut-shaped drive and a small control room. In the mid-1960s, this little telescope served as the fourth, remote member of the Green Bank Interferometer, the test array for the Very Large Array. [show more]

Description:The 42 foot telescope on a flat car in Bartow WV, 27 July 1966. During planning for what became the VLA, it seemed prudent to show that one could make observations with reasonable phase stability over baselines of 100,000 wavelengths. NRAO bought the 42 Foot to use at sites up to 35 km from Green Bank with one element of the Green Bank Interferometer. The telescope could be transported on one semi-trailer and could be disassembled and re-erected in about two weeks without using a crane. Successful observations between the 85 Foot Tatel Telescope and the 42 Foot, located on Spencer's Ridge 11 km away, helped demonstrate proof of concept for the VLA. In this photo, George Grove is on the far right (with pipe), Tom Williams second from right. [show more]
