Abstract
Experiments have been carried out in an attempt to detect linearly polarized radiation from the galactic spur at lII = 30°. Five observational methods are discussed and the results of experiments using these methods are given. The frequencies used were 160, 178 and 408 Mc/s and the region of observation covered the more intense parts of the spur. All the experiments agree in fixing a low upper limit of a few per cent on linearly polarized radiation from the spur.Keywords
