A total absorption lead glass Cherenkov counter to be used as gamma -ray and electron spectrometer in the 1-10 Bev region is described. The calibration of the counter with monoenergetic electrons shows its response to be linear at least up to 14 Bev. The pulse-height spread improves with increasing energy and it is better than 10% (full width at half-height) for energies above 5 Bev.
