A heavy liquid bubble chamber with a useful volume of 100 x 50 x 50 cm operating in a magnetic field of 20 kgauss is described. Engineering details are given. Lateral illumination of the liquid and scattering of light at 90 deg is used to photograph the tracks. Different mixtures of Freon (CF₃Br) and propane are used in the chamber to allow a choice of radiation length and stopping power particularly suitable to the experiment performed.
