Summary
A measuring system is described which will enable photographs of bubble chambers to be measured in a time ∼30 s per event. The design is such that the system can be developed in the direction of automatic pattern recognition without needing an on-line computer. Current difficulties and specific lines of future development are also discussed.
Riassunto
Si descrive un sistema di misura che permetterà di misurare le fotografie delle camere a bolle nel tempo di ∼30 s per evento. Lo schema è fatto in modo che il sistema può essere sviluppato verso il riconoscimento automatico della disposizione senza necessità dell’inserzione di una calcolatrice. Si discutono anche le difficoltà comuni e le linee specifiche degli sviluppi futuri.

Roads were originally conceived as coloured markings on the bubble chamber negative. In the development of ideas for a convenient and workable system,L. Kowarski first introduced the idea of a separate carrier for the roads. Alternatives to our present choice exist in which the road carrier is scanned by an auxiliary spot. While these enable the road carrier to be different in size from the original photograph the present system seems easier to construct and to use.
The possibility of transmitting additional « ordering » information from the measuring machine to the computer to simplify programming for track recognition has been emphasized byY. Goldschmidt-Clermont and his particular suggestions are incorporated in our present design.
