A diameter-luminosity relation has been determined which makes it possible to obtain distance moduli for spiral galaxies on the basis of diameters at the 25 mag B/sq arc sec level and Holmberg diameters. An absolute calibration (determination of K) is made using distance moduli from primary and secondary indicators. The diameter-luminosity relation is thus used to study the Hubble constant. For 281 spiral galaxies with known radial velocity, it is shown that there is a significant correlation between distance and radial velocity and that this relation does not disagree with Hubble's classical formulation over the range 5 log V(r) approximately equal to 13.5-18.0.
