Epoxy resin was used successfully as the material of a segment manufactured for an annular vacuum tank for the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory's 340-Mev electron synchrotron. It offers an important advantage over quartz: it is less breakable and can be machined easily for the ports and windows required for various radiation experiments. The development of epoxy resin fabrication procedure and the problem involved are described. The final procedure consists of coring the mold with polystyrene foam and adding the epoxy resin solution with fiberglass laminating to increase resistance to vacuum stress. The joints resulting from attaching the epoxy resin segment to the quartz segments were sealed with neoprene rubber boots. (D.L.C.)
