(F. M.) chamber, is applied to the detection of zenith angles of air shower particles at airplane altitudes. This chamber has the advantage of being small in power consumption, light in weight, simple in construction, and stable in performance. It can detect in close succession many trajectories with out causing spurious discharges, provided that the applied electric pulses are of sufficiently high voltage and short duration. For use in observation, two chambers are piled one on top of the other. Zenith angles of shower particles are determined from photographs taken of the discharges, with an error of 10 degrees. (auth)
