The spiral reader is a semiautomatic film digitizing machine which is used to measure photographs of elementary nuclear particle interactions created in a hydrogen bubble chamber. The entire spiral reader system is a man-machine-computer system, where man plays the most important role. The communication between the man and the machine (spiral reader) is through the computer. The function performed by each subsystem is described in the following paragraphs.
