Until recently, the compact structure in 3C 395 could be described as follows (Simon et al. 1987): (1)A bright, unresolved, flat spectrum core to the northwest. The core brightened by about 0.4 Jy between 1983.3 and 1985.4, from 0.6 Jy to 1.0 Jy.(2)A moderately resolved component 15.8+/−0.2 mas to the southwest along P.A.I 18o. The position of this component relative to the core has changed by less than 0.2 mas in 6 years and the flux density of this component has remained roughly constant.(3)A
