We have measured the ratio of prompt production rates of the
charmonium states chi(c)1 and chi(c)2 in 110 pb-1 of p anti-p collisions at sqrt
s = 1.8 TeV. The photon from their decay into J/psi gamma is reconstructed
through conversion into e+ e- pairs. The energy resolution this technique
provides makes the resolution of the two states possible. We find the ratio
of production cross sections sigma_chi(c)2/sigma_chi(c)1 = 0.96 +/-
0.27(stat.) +/- 0.11 (sys.) for events with p(t)(J/psi) > 4.0 GeV/c,
|eta(J/psi)| < 0.6, and p(t)(gamma) > 1.0 GeV/c.
