Abstract
Baily beads were observed from near the northern limit of totality during the eclipse of June 20, 1974; no attempt of identification was made at the time of observation. The observations were analysed to identify the features of the lunar profile which gave rise to the beads observed. They were then analysed to derive corrections to the relative positions of the Sun and Moon, and to investigate certain features of the lunar profile.
