the program of observations made with the 6-inch transit circle from
1977 to 1982
- W2J00 and B1J00 - the
results of the program (the
International Reference Stars) of observations made with the
6-inch transit circle from 1985-1995 in Washington, DC and the results
of the program of observations made with the 7-inch transit circle from 1986-1996 at
