When the VLA Green Book was written in 1978 (!), its original
purpose was to serve as an introduction to the VLA for prospective
observers, providing an overall view of the VLA and information
about the instrument at a level appropriate to those who may not
know a great deal about interferometry and aperture synthesis
techniques. It has been updated sporadically, and the current
version was last updated in 1992. Although in the era of the EVLA
much of the information is hopelessly outdated, there will be
information of interest. For current information on the
status of the array the reader is referred to the EVLA web pages
and specifically the more compact
EVLA
Observational Status Summary.

were not included in the scanned version and are therefore made
