Position measurements of the Crab nebula pulsar NPO527 made with a split-beam antenna yield the position (1950) $\ensuremath{\alpha}={05}^{\mathrm{h}}{26}^{\mathrm{m}}{10}^{\mathrm{S}}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{40}^{\mathrm{S}}$, $\ensuremath{\delta}=22\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}{0}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{30}^{\ensuremath{'}}$. Thus NPO527 lies 1.2\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} from the pulsar NPO532, which is located at the nebula. The proximity and similar dispersion of these two pulsars suggest that they may have had a common origin in the supernova explosion of A.D. 1054 and hence that NPO527 is moving with a velocity of $\ensuremath{\sim}0.15c$, a hypothesis which could be tested directly by proper motion measurements.
