Beginning next week regular tours for visitors will be inaugurated at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory Center at Green Bank. The tour will start in a lecture and exhibit room in the basement of the Karl Jansky Laboratory, where for 30 to 40 minutes slides will be shown and explanation made of the work there. Following this the telescopes will be visited.

These lectures and tours will be conducted by Dr. Robert Fleischer, Professor of Astronomy at Rensselaer Institute in Troy, New York, who will be at the Observatory for the summer months.
