The four-inch bubble chamber. The first hydrogen chamber to produce results of scientific interest. It was built at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in 1955 by Doug Parmentier (l.) and Pete Schwemin (r.), technicians in the Alvarez group. The year before, Parmentier and Schwemin, continuing a line of research begun by their coworker John Wood, had demonstrated another important "first." The first workable chamber of combined metal-and-glass, rather than all-glass, construction. That chamber, the 2 1/2-inch, was the first real prototype of a modern, practical, liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber. Photograph taken November 19, 1954. Bubble Chamber-2

Moving bubble chamber. 72-inch bubble chamber's "walk" from Building 59 to its new temporary site against the Bevatron's west wall. Paul Hernandez of mechanical engineering conceived the ingenious idea of devising a hydraulic walking method. With this system the bubble-chamber magnet could make right angle turns and maneuver into very tight spaces, thus eliminating the need for an outside rigging contractor.
