The constructional and operational features of triggered spark counters of large area are described. These counters are being used, in conjunction with nuclear emulsions, in current experiments on high-energy nuclear-interacting particles that arrive simultaneously over large areas, sometimes associated with air showers and at other times unassociated with air showers. For these experiments the spark counters and emulsions are being used in arrays covering an area of a few square meters.
