Abstract
The speed of the gamma-rays obtained from positron annihilation has be en measured as a test of the long-term stability of a fast timing coin cidence system. The value c = (2.9978 +/- 0.0002)10(8) m/s has been ob tained, whose precision is the best among those obtained from nuclear timing techniques.
