A stroboscopic method was adopted for determining the muon magnetic moments in which the muon is brought to rest with its spin perpendicular to a magnetic field. By use of a high precession frequency and by a different method of utilizing time irformation of the muon decays the experiment described achieved a muon moment accuracy of 0.007%. (W.D.M.)
