The shape of a proportional counter pulse due to an extended track of ionization is determined, before and after passing through a linear pulse amplifier, for various values of track extension and positive ion collection time. It is found that the maximum height of the amplifier output pulse is essentially independent of the length and orientation of the track in the counter, provided the time of collection of the outermost electrons is not longer than the amplifier time constant.
