NVSS 2146+82 is not aligned along a single axis. The two warm regions
(E and D) and the core (C) are not collinear. The jet in the south
appears to have several bends; one near the end of J1 (see Figure
4) where it bends toward J2, a change in position
angle from -150° to -170°. Beyond J3, the ridge line of
the lobe is fairly well defined and is again at position angle
-150°, consistent with a second bend (apparently 
20°) in the neighborhood of J3. The jet is not so prominent in
the north but feature K, which may be the brightest part of a
counterjet, is elongated along position angle of -169°.
The general ''C'' shape of the source suggests that the overall misalignment is due to environmental effects that have bent the jets, rather than to a changing initial jet direction which is likely to produce overall ''S'' symmetry.
We consider it beyond doubt that C, D and E comprise a single large FRII radio source with weak radio jets, whose parent object is the galaxy identified with C.
