  1. Fig. 1- The shore defence radar of the CSIR Division of Radiophysics from WWII , used on 26 January 1946 for the first interferometry in radio astronomy by Ruby Payne-Scott , J.L. Pawsey and L.L. McCready. From the small angular size of the solar bursts a large brightness temperature was inferred, implying a non-thermal origin. From the CSIRO Radio Astronomy Archive.

  3. Fig. 3 Ruby Payne-Scott (1912-1981) as a young student in the 1930s. Used with permission of P.G. Hall. Fig. 4 Interferometer recordings at 200 MHz of the solar bursts associated with the giant sunspot of early Feb. 1946 . The deep minima imply a small angular size. Time increases to the left. From McCready et al 1947, Proceedings of the Royal Society, Series A, vol 190, p. 357. Used with permission of the Royal Society.
