Observations with arcsecond-resolution interferometers can be used to detect motion or changes of the large scale structure associated with core dominated objects. If these arcsecond structures are expanding at relativistic velocities, detectable changes should be measureable within a few years. Indirect estimates of jet velocities can be made by a number of arguments, but none are model independent or free of dependence upon poorly established parameters. Application of some of these methods are given on sources with established VLB structure.
