The following is the "ReadMe" document that describes this ADC catalog. You can 
access the files described here from the anonymous FTP directory 
ftp://adc.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/adc/archives/catalogs/7/7083/. Or you can preview 
the data files. (Please note that the ADC data viewer does not currently work 
with FITS files or datasets that don't have standard documents. The viewer has 
not been tested against all possible data files. It may not work for some or all 
files for this catalog. See the ADC Archive Data Viewer Interface page for the 
testing status of the ADC's top 100 catalogs and top 100 journal tables.)

Description:
    The complete data for radial velocities of components of triple
    galaxies are presented. The main part of observations was accomplished
    with the 6-meter telescope.

Historical Notes:
    The catalogue on magnetic tape was received at CDS from Moscow Data Center 
    before the actual publication;
    the ReadMe file was added in July 1995.
