Abstract: A pulsed-laser-fibre-optic system which can be used to monitor continuously the time delays in experiments using a large number of fast photomultipliers, is described. It can detect relative changes of 0.2 ns in time delays of up to 1000 ns and has been incorporated in the fast extensive air shower array at Haverah Park and in a similar array established at the South Pole. It is anticipated that such a system will find application in time-of-flight measurements and in other fields in addition to that of the extensive air showers.
