A fast-neutron time-of-flight spectrometer with an electronic system for parameter stabilization in which reference signals pass through the same circuits as do the signals of the processes under study is described. This provides a twofold improvement in instrumental resolution in prolonged measurements, which amounts to 1.2 nsec. For a path length of 7 m, a neutron-beam energy width of 200 +/- 12 keV is measured for an average neutron energy of 14.6 MeV.
