	Lovell, Sir Bernard. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		He was a member of the cosmic-ray research team at the Univ. of Manchester, was occupied with radar research during World War II, and in 1946 showed that radar echoes could be obtained from daytime meteor showers, which are invisible using optical astronomical techniques.
		Lovell was the leader of the team that built at Jodrell Bank, near Manchester, England, what was then the largest steerable radiotelescope (completed 1957).
		The 250-ft-diameter (76-m) telescope (since surpassed in size) is now a part of the Jodrell Bank Observatory, which Lovell directed (1945–81).

		Bernard Lovell was born Aug. 31, 1913, in the village of Oldland Common (Gloucestershire), Great Britain.
		Carefully choosing a known comet with desirable characteristics, Lovell, in October 1946, directed his radar equipment skyward and proved beyond question that the transient meteor-trail echoes he had observed earlier were signals bounced off the tails of comets.
		Sir Bernard Lovell, in collaboration with his wife, wrote a number of books on astronomy, one of the later being Discovering the Universe (1967).

	Guardian \| Robert Hanbury Brown
		Sir Bernard Lovell once said that had Hanbury Brown not sought a research fellowship at Manchester University after the war, the Jodrell Bank radio telescope might never have been built.
		But his recruitment to Sir Bernard's pioneering team in 1949, and his subsequent emergence as professor of radio astronomy at Manchester in 1960, took a substantial load off Lovell during the period when he most needed time and energy to fight the battles for money and sound construction of the radio telescope.
		Sir Bernard Lovell recalls that, at one research station where he was often to be seen in a brown lab coat and busy with secateurs, Hanbury Brown was mistaken by visitors for the gardener.

		Sir Bernard Lovell's team - which included Harry - had to use the new magnetrons for a navigation system to help the RAF find its targets accurately, and come safely back to home, sweet home, hence the code name H2S - at least that is one story.
		Another colleague, Sir Martin Ryle, had died in the same year, and, according to one of the few boffins surviving today, was one of several who "were conscience-stricken about what was happening and were in personal agony throughout the war".
		Lovell and Ryle used their experience to found the whole new science of radio astronomy.

	JBO - Construction
		One such person is Sir Bernard Lovell, the creator of the giant 76-m (250ft) radio telescope at Jodrell Bank.
		Lovell realised that much larger aerials were required if the detection of cosmic rays was ever to be achieved and in 1947 the Jodrell Bank group constructed a huge paraboloidal reflector from scaffolding poles and many miles of steel wire.
		Instead, Lovell and his colleagues were drawn to the mysterious sources of radio waves far out in the universe, and eventually used the transit telescope to make the first detection of radio waves from the Andromeda galaxy.

		Sir Bernard Lovell, a professor at the University of Manchester and Director of the Jodrell Bank radio telescope facility, had been active in the international astronautics community for many years.
		During June and July 1963, Sir Bernard was the guest of the Soviet Academy of Sciences on an unprecedented tour, for a Western scientist, of the major optical and radio observatories.
		In concluding his report to Dryden, Lovell said that he had promised Keldysh to convey the substance of these discussions to the "appropriate authorities in the United Kingdom and the United States of America." Now that Lovell had discharged his promise, a major question remained.
