Abstract
The performance of a telescope of micro-strip gas chambers (MSGC) has been studied in a beam of pions. Detectors with different anode pitch and with different substrates have been operated using several gas mix tures. The position resolutions obtained by reading out the cathodes f or the 200 mu m pitch is 42 mu m. For the 400 mu m pitch detectors the resolution is 42 mu m after correcting the centroid positions with a function derived from the data.
