Abstract :
POLLY is a special-purpose bubble chamber film-measuring device in which small regions of the film are scanned automatically, the regions being under computer control. With some help from manual interaction facilities incorporated in the device, certain patterns of interest in high-energy physics are detected, identified, and located.
