Lovell, Bernard, 1913-2012.
Bernard Lovell memorandum on a 250 foot aperture steerable radio telescope, 1951.
Contains text, photographs, plans, maps, and diagrams in support of Lovell's proposal to build a 250 foot aperture steerable radio telescope at the University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Experimental Station.
Lovell was a professor of physics and radio astronomy at the University of Manchester and served as director of the Jodrell Bank astronomical observatory until his retirement in 1981. The Jodrell Bank Mark I steerable radio telescope, constructed between 1952 and 1957, is used to study radio emissions from space and to track satellites (most notably Sputnik I).
