Topic: 1 Session: oral Abstract: Digitized photographic plates of the field of OJ 287 were used to fill the gaps in its light curve for the period 1956-1965. The results shows evidence for five outbursts in this period where the brightness in V has risen above 30 mJy. The results agrees with the precessing binary black hole model.
