Long Baseline Interferometry (L.B.I.) refers to a dramatic technical breakthrough in astronomy accomplished almost exactly ten years ago in the spring of 1967 by a group of workers at the National Research Council of Canada and some major Canadian Universities. The Canadian effort was duplicated within a month by an independent American effort and it was realized soon afterward that the new technique of L.B.I. held enormous potential for geodynamical as well as astronomical studies.
