N1 - Funding Information:
We are very grateful to the members of the CERN PS group and the Coordinator who offered us the beam facilities under the best conditions. We thank the members of Nagoya University group for the SciFi arrays specially prepared for our project. We are much indebted to the technical personnel in the collaborating institutions, in particular J.P. Bovigny and Ph. Gauthier of the PS division for their constant help as well as J. Dufournaud and M. Tareb-Reyes for their initial work on the Data Acquisition System. Some of us (A.G., I. M., T. Y.) were partially supported by SMC Corporation, Japan. F. T. and K. O. were partially supported by a grant from the science research promotion funds of the Japan Private School Promotion Foundation.

N2 - In the framework of the RD-17 project at CERN an extensive work is in progress on the development of scintillating-fibre detectors using position-sensitive photomultipliers. With 0.5 mm diameter fibres a spatial resolution of about 125 μm was obtained with a detection efficiency higher than 95%. The time resolution of the detector is about 600 ps, and the track position is properly digitised in real time in less than 10 ns by a peak sensing circuit. A simulation, based on experimental data, has also been performed to compare different types of front-end electronics.
