NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTATION is undergoing revolutionary changes because of rapidly increasing use of stored‐program computers by experimentalists in nuclear‐structure laboratories. With currently available electronic instrumentation (see box on page 60) and the principles that make a computer useful in running a laboratory, it appears possible to achieve the goal of this revolution: a maximum of wish fulfillment for every user in his scientific investigations.
