Single station studies cannot provide detailed information such as zenith angle, velocity, heights and magnitude for individual meteors and Ceplecha (1976) has stressed the need for two station television observations which could provide such information through triangulation analyses. This paper deals with some of the results of the first two station television intensifier study of faint meteors, and the implications of these results concerning the validity of the current theories of the structure and ablation of dustball meteors.
