Abstract
Two cloud chambers of the pneumatic rubber diaphragm type are described, a cylindrical one 22 cm in diameter for use with a large electromagnet, and a rectangular one of wood with sensitive volume 35×30×10 cm for cosmic‐ray shower studies. The expansion ratio is determined by the separation of rigid diaphragm stops. A description of auxiliary apparatus for control by G‐M counters and for illuminating the chambers is given.Keywords
