With the termination of the ZGS program and with the guidance of the Baltay Committee review of the HEP program at Argonne, the future role of the HEP Division was identified with its potential to provide engineering and facilities capabilities, allied with the full-time commitment of research physicists, to collaborations with university groups on experiments at other facilities. To see how well this has worked over the some 15 years since the ZGS, the author reviews the contributions of Argonne to a number of large tracking detector experiments; these may be regarded s the successors to the bubble chamber experiments of the 1950--1970 period and are reasonably referred to as visual detectors. In all of the detectors to be considered, the physical scale is large and the design and construction depend for success on sound engineering expertise and availability of extensive services backed up by skilled technician effort.
