"Joe Pawsey took me up to Dover Heights that first day to the cliff-top
interferometer. It was a very cunning device. As the sun rose above the
ocean there was a reflected ray off the ocean, received by the antenna,
and then the direct ray; this formed an interferometer - like a Lloyds
mirror type thing - this was the array that found that the Crab Nebula
was a radio source, and also did much of the early work on Cygnus"
