  • Abstract
    A vidicon camera tube furnishes an ideal means for directly viewing spark-chamber events. By digitizing spark locations initially, one can perform the subsequent circuit logic by digital-circuit techniques. Information stored on magnetic tape can be presented in a format suitable for immediate analysis by a computer. A recent system for scanning two views of 12 spark-chamber gaps is described along with plans for future developments.
