A new electronic read‐out system has been devised which enables one to obtain a fast answer from a chronotron to be used with accelerator beams of particles. It allows for an analysis of time delay with variable and continuous time intervals. The timing is pulse‐height independent with an accuracy increasing for large pulses. The recovery time is in the range of one microsecond.With delay‐line clipped coincidence pulses from two photomultipliers being fed into a 12‐channel chronotron with a 30‐m&mgr;sec range, a time resolution with half‐width at half maximum of 1.2 m&mgr;sec was readily obtained. Using only 4 channels, with a range of 10 m&mgr;sec, a half‐width at half maximum of 6×10−10sec was observed. A simplified version with only three channels has made a useful fast coincidence circuit.
