    RADIO TELESCOPE
    October 10, 1980 - New Mexico

    The Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope network in N.M. was dedicated. Conceived in the 60's and built in the 70's the VLA is versatile and sensitive, with angular resolution comparable to that of the best ground-based optical telescopes. The VLA is an "aperture synthesis" interferometric instrument, designed to gain the resolving power of a very large antenna by utilizing a number of smaller antennas. Information from all of its antennas is combined mathematically to produce resolving power equal to that of a single antenna as much as 36 km in diameter. The VLA is arranged in a "Y" pattern, with nine antennas on each of the three arms. Each of the 27 antennae is a fully-steerable 82-ft diam. parabolic dish, weighing approx. 230 tons.

The Black Forest clocks began at this time, although the very popular Black Forest cuckoo clocks came later. During the 18th century, the clock industry was becoming a very lucrative profession for inhabitants of the Black Forest. In the southern region, in Furtwangen, the German clock museum is now found.
