The FOCAP multi-object system on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) has been used to observe 35 faint stars (V > 18, Mv > + 4.6) and 83 stars with V < 18 in 47 Tuc. The large sample of stars well below the turnoff permits us to examine abundance variations in relatively unevolved stars for the first time. Our spectral resolution (2.7Å) is greater than that used in previous studies.
