Examinations were made of 15 electron-photon showers with energies from 10/sup 11/ to l0/sup 13/ ev recorded in emulsion stacks. Energies of primary quanta causing showers were determined by measuring the energy spectrum of cascade electrons at a depth of 2.5 to 3 rad units, and by the screening effect on the first pairs. The energy spectrum was measured of pairs, produced at a depth of 1.5 rad units. The results obtained agree with the calculations made taking into account the influence of multiple scattering and medium polarization on high energy electron bremsstrahlung. (auth)
