An electron model relativistic fixed‐frequency cyclotron of the azimuthally varying field type has been constructed for the purpose of testing the orbit dynamics of such a device. An iterative technique used in designing an acceptable magnetic field shape is described in some detail. A brief description of the various components of the device is given as well as an account of the beam phenomena observed in the initial period of operation. Results strongly indicate the feasibility, from an orbit dynamics standpoint, of large proton machines of this type.
