Recent results from CERN experiment NA36 are discussed and compared with models. These results refer to reactions of sulfur and protons of momentum 200 GeV/c per nucleon on a lead target. The [Lambda] spectrum for the sulfur beam was found to peak at mid-rapidity rather than target rapidity as observed in the proton induced reactions. This result indicates different reaction mechanisms are active. We discuss in some detail the analysis methods used. The data are consistent with the assumption of a fireball of high strangeness content being created at mid-rapidity in S [plus] Pb reactions.
