A simple multivibrator for eliminating multiple discharges in argon-alcohol counters is described. This circuit has been used successfully in cosmic-ray intensity recording equipment requiring a high degree of stability. It is shown that the increase in counter life which is observed when a multivibrator of this kind is used is probably due to quenching of the discharge before it has spread the full length of the counter wire.
