One of our three Green Bank-based millimeter-wave telescopes, a 12-foot dish, was used as a testbed for future, larger-scale telescopes from 1963 until 1967. It was an aluminum dish coated in a thin layer of gold, and mounted on a modified surplus radar mount behind the Janksy Lab. In this photo are, left to right, Frank Low, Tom Carpenter, Arnold Davidson, and Omar Bowyer.
