Abstract
We present the measured positions of incidence of shower particles thigh-en ergy photons or electrons) on the total-absorption Cerenkov spectrometer. P ositions are obtained by measuring the amplitudes of pulses from the photom ultipliers viewing a larger face of the homogeneous Cerenkov radiator with dimensions of 60 x 40 x 15 cm. The measured position resolution is 5.4 and 3.3 cm for electrons with 50- and 208-MeV energy, respectively.
