A Kalman filter track fit system for reconstructing charged particle track parameters from solenoidal tracking chamber data has been constructed. A supporting simulation of particle transport and detector response in an all stereo wire drift chamber such as that proposed for the B Factory project has been written based on the Gismo package. Basic fitting operation has been verified, however the effects of particle interactions with detector material have yet to be incorporated into the filter. The filter system has been written usings an object oriented language in the hopes of facilitating its application to various future applications at the B Factory and elsewhere.
