Description:
The simple unification scheme of powerful radio galaxies and quasars,
based entirely on the orientation dependent effects, has been
confronted with the observed radio structures for 152 radio galaxies
and 173 steep spectrum quasars. Contrary to the scheme's prediction,
the cosmological evolution of geometrical parameters describing the
large scale structure of these two types of radio sources are
different.
