We have used the Final Focus Test Beam beamline and associated instrumentation to reduce the 46.6 GeV SLAC electron beam to a vertical size of 70 nm. This represents a reduction from the linac beam size by a factor of 320, comparable to the demagnification required by a TeV-scale linear collider, and addresses the same aberrations predicted in such an environment. The beam dimensions were measured by two novel beam size monitors at the focal point. Details of the optical and hardware design of the beam line, necessary tuning operations, beam size monitor principles, and future plans are discussed.
