Abstract
Slysh (1966) first pointed out the bizarre properties of the polarized emission from Cygnus A: a strong wavelength dependence on fractional polarization, and a large difference in rotation measures (RMs) for the (integrated) emission from each lobe. These properties were confirmed, but not resolved, in the work of Mitton (1971) and Alexander et al., (1984).Keywords
