A radio survey of the Milky Way in Cygnus, Cassiopeia and Perseus

A survey has been made of the radio emission from a section of the Milky Way extending from 1=400 to 1=1300 and b=+140 to b=-140. The measurements were made at a frequency of Mc/s using an aerial with a -degree beam. The isophotes and the absolute intensity of the radiation from the region have been obtained. The greater sensitivity and resolving power of the equipment over that used in previous work has revealed some new features of the region, including several localized sources not reported previously. It has also been possible to obtain detailed contours for the region of high intensity close to the intense source Cygnus I.
