Abstract
Observational parameters which can be used for redshift-independent di stance determination using the Tully-Fisher (TF) technique are given f or 782 spiral galaxies in the fields of 24 clusters or groups. I band photometry for the full sample was either obtained by us or compiled f rom published literature. Rotational velocities are derived either fro m 21 cm spectra or optical emission line long-slit spectra, and conver ted to a homogeneous scale. In addition to presenting the data, a disc ussion of the various sources of error on TF parameters is introduced, and the criteria for the assignment of membership to each cluster are given.
