Abstract
In older to check for consistency with the radio-loud AGN unification schem e, ISOPHOT data obtained for two small sets of intermediate redshift steep- spectrum 3CR radio galaxies and quasars are being examined. Supplementary s ubmillimeter and centimeter radio data for the quasars are also taken into account, in order to assess the magnitude of any beamed nonthermal radiatio n. The fact that we find broad-lined objects to be somewhat more luminous i n their far-infrared output than narrow-lined objects, hints at a contradic tion to the unification scheme. However, as the sample objects are not part icularly well matched, the sample size is small, and the FIR radiation may still be partly anisotropic, this evidence is, at the moment, weak.
