The combined use of muon production height along the shower axis evaluated from muon direction and from muon arrival time selects high energy muons neither significantly scattered in the atmosphere nor deviated in the geomagnetic field. This allows the reconstruction of Extensive Air Shower (EAS) longitudinal development in the knee energy region, which provides informations about the nature of primary particle and its interaction with the air nuclei. We describe the possibility to reconstruct the muon height of production by the combination of tracking and timing measurements as provided by a large area tracking and timing telescope now available in the EAS-TOP experiment. 40m2 of bakelite RPCs have been installed under the existing muon-hadron detector in order to obtain accurate measurement of muon arrival time with respect to the arrival of the shower core.
