Abstract
The characteristics and the working conditions of the new focal plane drift chambers at the magnetic spectrograph BIG KARL are described. On e chamber was tested with an 1 GeV electron beam. The drift time spect rum, the efficiency and the position resolution are discussed. A gas s upply system for an argon/ethane gas mixture was used. The composition of the detector was monitored by two proportional counters with a Fe- 55 X-ray source.
