A new pole figure technique employing a composite specimen is developed by means of the reciprocal lattice theory. An entire quadrant of the pole figure can be obtained in a single determination, using a spiral track goniometer and Schulz geometry. Advantages of the method are ease of specimen preparation and data recording, and accuracy of the pole figure, since variations between ``surface'' and ``inside'' textures are properly averaged over the entire pole figure.
