Ryle Telescope
The Ryle Telescope was re-arranged to form the long baseline array of AMI after this photo was taken.
The Ryle Telescope (also known as the '5 km telescope') was a linear East-West radio telescope array at Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory. In 2004 two of the telescopes were moved, creating a compact two-dimensional array of telescopes at the East end of the interferometer. This cluster of telescopes is now operated as the long baseline array of the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager.
