In June 1964, several diametric profiles of the 8to 14-/z flux from Venus were obtained with the 200-inch Hale telescope operated in the east-arm Cassegrainian mode. These data were recorded with a photometer system described previously [Westphal et al., 1963] as part of a surveillance program [Westphal et al., 1965]. Venus was near inferior conjunction and 52.2 sec of arc in apparent diameter,...
