Measurements of precise positions of optical counterparts of extra-galactic radio-sources, with the aim to compare them with VLBI positions, is in progress at Torino Observatory. The Carlsberg Automatic Meridian Circle Catalogue (CAMC) is used for plate reductions. Presently, about 40% of the plate material required to complete the project has been taken and some significant improvements have been made both in the material and the reduction methods. Improvements are also due to the publication of a new volume of the CAMC catalogue that significantly increases the number of stars in the fields.
