Abstract
This is a short note to acknowledge the successful operation of a 140-cm dr ift liquid argon TPC built in the framework of the ICARUS experiment. We sh ow few cosmic muon tracks crossing the whole drift volume from the wire pla nes to the cathode. Data were taken at drift fields of 450 and 500 V/cm. (C ) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
