Abstract
A precise knowledge of the beam spot position is required for many phy sics topics at LEP2. The movement of the beam spot is studied at LEP1 using beam orbit monitors close to the interaction points and compared with measurements from tracks produced in e(+)e(-) collisions. The be am orbit monitors are found to follow the beam spot position well, par ticularly when corrected for movements of nearby quadrupole magnets. D ata from the LEP high energy run of November 1995 are also analysed, a nd projections made for the prospects at LEP2.
