In 1958 the 1 meter Heavy Liquid Bubble Chamber (HLBC) Group, comprising members of the PS (Proton Synchrotron) magnet group (a team led by Colin Ramm), started to work on the propane bubble chamber. The bubble chamber project advanced slowly as long as there was still work to be done for the PS. Nevertheless, the design reached a stage where at least part of the chamber could be ordered and delivered during 1959.
In 1961 the HLBC group was integrated into Nuclear Physics Apparatus Division (NPA). In 1966 the CERN Council approved proposals by the Director-General for a reorganization of the structure of CERN and seven new departments were formed by regrouping the existing divisions. NPA division was integrated into PS Department.
In 1969 NPA Division ceased to exist. Some staff remained in the PS Department whilst most were transferred to the Track Chamber Division (TC) of the Physics II Department, directed by Charles Peyrou. TC Division became the division responsible for the high energy physics program at the PS using bubble chambers (Hydrogen Bubble Chambers + Heavy Liquid Bubble Chambers).
