Abstract

A technique for obtaining simultaneous measurements of cosmic radiation at two different altitudes has been developed. The method consists of suspending two packets o nuclear emulsion plates from one balloon, while maintaining a constant vertical separation of 10,000 to 27,000 ft between the packets. The separation has been maintained throughout level balloon flights up to four hours duration. This technique is of value in the investigation of the variation in cosmic radiation with altitude.
