Multiple hard X-radiation, along with associated emission at optical and radio wavelengths, is discussed for three events in particular: December 13, 1970–1832 UT; December 12, 1970–1843 UT; June 28, 1970–2001 UT. Characteristics of these events as well as other multiple hard X-ray bursts observed by the author (e.g., Vorpahl, J.: Solar Phys.29, 447, 1973) are given at the end. Data originated from hard X-ray experiments on the OGO-5 (Kinsey Anderson) and OSO-5 (Ken Frost) satellites and were compared so that the effect of pulse pile-up in the OGO-5 data could be observed. The two December flares occurred in different active regions separated by about 100000 km yet both produced hard X-ray bursts with similar structure. This suggests that the two regions were joined by extended field lines with the acceleration mechanism somewhere in between. Although nothing was visible in Hα (such as surges or post flare ejections) that would indicate connecting field lines, higher coronal structures could explain the similarity in hard X-rays from two separate regions.
