A method of improving position resolution obtained from delay-line readouts of MWPC
TLDR
In this article, the nearly linear dependence of pulse height and rise time on the distance a pulse travels along delay-line readouts of multiwire proportional chambers is shown to be useful for improving the position resolution obtainable from such chambers.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic avalanche production mechanisms for magic gas and standard proportional gas are contrasted and their considerable impact on delay-line readout systems is discussed, and results of careful resolution testing of two externally coupled delay line systems possessing vastly different propagation delays are presented.
