By means of triple coincidence telescopes mounted in a B-29 airplane, the east-west asymmetry of cosmic rays has been measured at several geomagnetic latitudes from 0 degrees to 41 degrees north. The asymmetry was determined separately for the hard, soft, and shower producing components of the radiation. At a zenith angle of 45 degrees, the intensity of each of these components from the western direction exceeded that from the eastern direction by an amount which increased rapidly as the geomagnetic latitude was decreased. Comparison of the amount of asymmetry with the observed latitude effects permits the conclusion that all components arise from primary rays which in the range of energies explored by the experiment are all or nearly all positively charged. During the course of the experiments, vertical intensities of the hard and soft components were also measured. Data on the variation of the vertical intensities with altitude and with geomagnetic latitude are presented.
