>Flying-spot measuring machines for use on bubble chamber film were first proposed by P. V. C. Hough and B. W. Powell in 1960. A machine nearing completion at Brookhaven National Laboratory employs a fixed and moving fiber to generate a 15 mu m spot that scans over an area 53 x 160 mm in 10 seconds. Centers of marks on the film are digitized to an accuracy of plus or minus 5 mu m and the coordinates fed on line into a computer for analysis. (auth)
