Description:
    We have refined the CORS method, introduced in 1980 for the
    computation of the Cepheid radii, in order to extend its applicability
    to recent and extensive sets of observations. The refinement is based
    on the computation, from observational data only, of one of the terms
    of the solving equation, previously based only on precise calibrations
    of photometric colors. A limited number of assumptions, generally
    accepted in the literature, is used. New radii are computed for about
    70 Cepheids, and the resulting P-R relation is discussed.
