Several extragalactic radio sources within reach of Sydney radio telescopes have been found to have angular sizes so great that they can be resolved with the pencil-beam aerials, which are available at three frequencies. It is possible to study in some cases the brightness distribution in some detail; in others to study the qualitative general picture. The observations with which the present paper is concerned are set out in Table I.
