Within our Galaxy there are a number of nonthermal sources of radio emission. In the last few years a considerable amount of data has been collected about some of these sources, in particular the Crab nebula and the Cassiopeia A source. There is strong evidence now to suggest that all of the nonthermal radio sources emit by synchrotron radiation, or acceleration radiation as we shall describe it here. In this paper we want to discuss the physical conditions in two objects, the Cygnus loop and IC 443.
