Abstract
Recent theoretical models of radio radiation from central cores of radio sources invoke axial relativistic beaming of the radiation and predict significant enhancement of the radiation from the central cores when viewed at small angles to the direction of the beam. Investigations of the angular diameter distributions of radio sources by Swarup (1975) has shown that the median angular size of radio sources below 4 Jy at 327 MHz is about 10 arc seconds. Hence a sample of sources, with angular sizes substantially less than the above median, chosen from the Ooty occultation survey may be expected to contain a large fraction of double sources viewed along the axis of the double structure.
