The radial and longitudinal development of electron-photon showers has been measured in copper and lead at 1 GeV. A new technique using the thermoluminescent property of LiF has been employed to measure energy deposition. The resultant radial distributions and transition curves show good agreement with Monte Carlo calculations.
