A two-cell prototype of the SLD Central Drift Chamber has been tested using CO/sub 2/-isobutane (92%-8%) at one atmosphere. Average single wire resolution of 55 ..mu..m was achieved. Charge division tests indicate a resolution for the final design of approx. = 0.5% of wire length. dE/dx separation of ..pi.. - e should be useful up to at least 7 GeV/c.
