The registration of gamma rays in a spark chamber has been simulated by Monte-Carlo-calculation technique. The spark chamber pictures of these gamma-ray events having a known energy and direction of incidence have been analysed for determinability of direction of incidence. The values obtained for angular resolution depending on energy are compared with values derived by other authors.
