Laser observations of the moon - Normal points for 1972

The lunar laser observations taken at the McDonald Observatory during 1972 are presented in the form of compressed normal points, using the technique of an earlier paper. Refinements in the knowledge of the lunar motion have permitted corresponding increases in the ability to discriminate observations contaminated by equipment malfunctions; a list of amendments is given for the 1969-1971 data. The geometry of the telescope must be taken into account in the application of these data.
