Abstract
Photoelectric magnitudes and colours on the (U,B,V)-system have been determined
for primary sequence stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds with the
aluminized 18-inch Cape reflector. The magnitude system was established through
observations of twenty bright standars stars. Observations of these, and
additional, primary sequence stars in both Clouds were then secured with the
silvered Radcliffe 74-inch reflector, and the magnitude and colour system
transferred to secondary sequences in two fields of the Large Magellanic
Clouds.
