The structure of the Galaxy can be studied by the following techniques: (i) measurements of the continuum emission, both on the large scale and from discrete objects such as supernova remnants; (ii) measurements of line radiation, again both from large and small scale features; and (iii) measurements of the transmission properties of the interstellar medium. All these techniques have been pursued in recent work at Jodrell Bank. This section describes work in the categories (i) and (iii); work under (ii) is described in Sections 6 and 7.
