** abstract ** There is an almost unanimous agreement among those concerned that English has clusters like [sp], [ft], [kt] (in, for example, //sport, after, packed/act//). Based on theoretical considerations, we contend that this is not the case, these words contain [sb], [fd], [kd], and [ɡt], respectively. In this paper we report on an experiment showing that the acoustic properties of the plosive clusters in the strings //acting// and //packed in// are different in a statistically significant way. The relative length of the vowel in //acting// is greater than in //packed in,// the voicing duration is longer in the cluster in //acting,// and VOT is larger before the /i/ in //acting.// This suggests that the former cluster is /ɡt/, while the latter is /kd/. \\
