We present 22 and 49 GHz interferometric observations of Hyd A (3C218). The source was found to have a very large Faraday rotation measure (RM) (Kato et al. 1987), and to be a dominant member of a luminous X-ray cluster with a large cooling flow (David et al. 1988). These characteristics are very similar to those of Cyg A which is suggested to produce a large RM within a dense sheath around the radio lobes as a result of somehow an interaction between dense intracluster medium (ICM) and radio jets and/or lobes (Dreher et al. 1987). Hyd A is the second example of Cyg A type source. In case of Cyg A, hot spots are the place where the interaction between jets and ICM occurs (Carilli et al. 1988). We then expect in Hyd A that similar interaction also occurs to form hot spots, and consequently that high frequency observations reveal structures of the interaction.
