Design considerations for the Canadian High Acceptance Orbit Spectrometer (CHAOS) led to a set of apparently mutually inconsistent requirements for the inner (WC3) drift chamber. This detector chamber has to be cylindrical, of low mass, have excellent spatial resolution (<200 µm) and operate in a variable magnetic field of up to 1.6 T. This thesis describes the investigations which culminated in the testing of a unique new drift chamber which satisfies all the requirements for the CHAOS WC3. An overview is given of present drift chamber technology and its application in high magnetic fields. Methods to obtain the space-time relationship are reviewed. In particular, the integral, displacement and trackfitting methods have been applied to pr...
