| | AGK3 Catalogue |
 | | A formal recommendation was adopted through Commission 8 at the 1955 IAU General Assembly in Dublin, with the observatories at Babelsberg, Bergedorf, Bordeaux, Greenwich, Heidelberg, Nikolajew, Ottawa, Paris, Pulkovo, Strasbourg and Washington (USNO) to collaborate in the work, and with F. Scott (USNO) to coordinate the meridian circle observations of AGK3R stars. |
 | | The completion of the photographic observations was to be the responsibility of the observatories at Bergedorf and Bonn, with all plate measurements to be done at the former. |
 | | The detailed procedures for the correction of magnitude-color errors, reduction of the measures using the AGK3R stars, re-reduction of AGK2 using its reference catalog AGK2A transformed to the FK4 system, and final reduction of the AGK3 positions and proper motions, are discussed by W. Dieckvoss in his technical introduction to the source reference. |
