Abstract
The construction techniques used in the development of a set of large pair spectrometers for the MEGA detector are discussed. These spectrom eters consist of carbon-fiber-composit cylinders on which the conversi on foils are mounted, and appropriately spaced wire chambers in each l ayer which track the conversion leptons. Close tolerances on all dimen sions are maintained. The detector has been operating well in the stop ped muon beam line at LAMPF.
