Work has been in progress for many years at University College London to determine how the intensity spectrum of emitted X-rays changes as a function of time and position on the solar disk. Early spectroheliographs consisted of grazing incidence parabolic mirrors which focussed radiation onto proportional counters from which spectral data were obtained. Such instruments, built in collaboration with the University of Leicester Group, have been flown on two rockets (Negus et al., 1969) and on the OSO V satellite (Herring et al., 1971).
