Description:
    Polarisation parameters are presented for 192 radiosources of the
    B3-VLA sample at 1.4, 2.7, 4.8, 10.5GHz. The polarisation has been
    measured with Effelsberg radiotelescope for 2.7, 4.8, 10.5GHz, while
    the 1.4 polarization is from NVSS (Cat. VIII/65) survey.
    Rotation Measures (RM) are presented for 143 radiosources.
