We have compared measurements of several hundred 3C and 4C radio sources at large redshifts to investigate how radio-source structure changes over a factor of 5–10 in luminosity. Our results show that for z ≳ 0.6:

  1. (i) most sources (both 3C and 4C) have hotspots about 3.5 kpc in size (Ho = 50 km s−1 Mpc−1, Ω = 1);

  2. (ii) lower-luminosity sources (bottom of 4C) have less-extended outer lobes.
