Abstract
The specification and performance of two new VHE gamma ray telescopes are described. The larger of the telescopes (MK III) has a threshold of 240 GeV and is at present en route for a series of observations in the Southern hemisphere. The MK IV telescope now nearing completion has a slightly higher threshold (300 GeV) and will be used in 1987 for Northern hemisphere observations.
