Abstract
Complete samples of quasars in the 3CR and 4C catalogues have been observed with a resolution of 2” arc in RA and 2” cosecδ in dec with the Cambridge 5-km telescope at 5 GHz (Riley & Pooley 1975; Jenkins et al 1977), from which it has been possible to determine the overall angular sizes of their radio structures (LAS). The angular diameterredshift test for quasars has been reexamined using these data; details are described fully elsewhere (Hooley et al 1977).
