The helicity of the electron and positron from muon decay was measured by determining the sense of circular polarization of their bremsstrahlung by the method of absorption in iron magnetized against or along the direction of motion of the particles. The positron is found to be right-handed and the electron left- handed. The results are consistent with the two-component neutrino theory, which assumes (V,A) interaction, conservation of leptons, and left-handed neutrinos. (auth)
