We have used the MX multifiber spectrometer on the Steward 2.3m measuring redshifts of up to 25 galaxies in each of about 90 Abell cluster fields with richness class R ≥ 1 and mag10 ≤ 16.8 (estimated z ≤ 0.12) and no more than one previously-measured redshift. This work has resulted in a deeper, more complete sample for two-point correlation and other studies of large-scale structure. To date, we have collected such data for 110 clusters (a few not in our sample). For most, we have seven or more cluster members with redshifts, enough to add significantly to the available sample of cluster velocity dispersions for other studies of cluster properties.

The study of large-scale structure through QSO clustering provides a potentially powerful route to determining the fundamental cosmological parameters of the Universe (see Croom & Shanks 1996). Unfortunately, previous QSO clustering studies have been limited by the relatively small sizes of homogeneous QSO catalogues that have been available. Although approximately 10,000 QSOs are now known (Veron-Cetty & Veron 1997), the largest catalogues suitable for clustering studies contain only 500–1000 QSOs (Boyle et al. 1990, Crampton et al. 1990, Hewett et al. 1994). Even combining all such suitable catalogues, the total number of QSOs which can be used for clustering studies is still only about 2000.
