Notes: We report the results of a system to test the behavior of the wires of multiwire proportional chambers (MWPC) exposed for 10 min to a uniform force field of about 10 G strength and variable in time in the frequency range 0–2000 Hz. This acceleration will be present when the chambers, mounted inside a cosmic ray spectrometer, are launched by the Space Shuttle towards the NASA Space Station "FREEDOM.'' We have reproduced these conditions in the laboratory by an electronic device and we have found that, after repeated cycles of this treatment, the wire performance remained unchanged. This system can also be used to control the tension of the wires of a MWPC during its normal testing procedure.
