A propane-filled bubble chamber is described that has a volume of 1 liter. The operating pressure is 350 lb/in./sup 2/. An expansion of 3% within about 10 msec is produced by coupllng the piston to the flywheel of a small electric motor by a magnetic clutch. This operation requires a square-shaped current pulse of amplitude 4 amp lasting between 20 and 100 msec. When the clutch is energized, a synchronized flash illuminates tracks produced by the ionizing particles. (N.W.R.)
