N1 - Funding Information:
We are grateful to the CERN PS staff who provided us the beam facilities under the best conditions. We thank the members of Nagoya University group who prepared the SciFi arrays for this project. We are much indebted to the technical personnel in the collaborating institutions, in particular. J.P. Bovigny and P. 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.) have been supported partially by SMC Corporation, Japan. F.T. and K.O. have been supported partially by a grant from the science research promotion funds of Japan Private School Promotion Foundation.

N2 - Fast and precise readout of scintillating fibres (SciFi) has a great potential for fast tracking and triggering at high-luminosity particle physics experiments. In the framework of the RD-17 experiment at CERN (FAROS) significant milestones in the development of SciFi detectors using position-sensitive photomultipliers have been achieved. Results obtained with a weak cross-talk multi-anode photomultiplier. Philips XP1724, and a parallel readout of the anodes are reported. With 0.5 mm diameter fibres a spatial resolution of about 125 μm and a detection efficiency in excess of 95% have been obtained. The time dispersion of signals from individual photomultiplier channels has been estimated to be about 1 ns. The possibility of digitising the track position in real time by a peak-sensing circuit is studied for the first time.
