Notes, references
Systems denoted by sequential numbers from 1 to 62 are classified as W-subtype,
the others as A - subtype (Binnendijk L, 1970, Vistas in Astr. 12, 217).
Within each sub-type systems are ordered according to increasing orbital period.
The values presented derive from the papers on individual systems listed in
the reference file, or from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars
4th ed. (Khopolov P.N. et .al 1985, Nauka Publ. Co., Moscow) and the
Eight Catalogue of the orbital elements of spectroscopic binary systems
(Batten A.H., Fletcher J.M, MacCarthy D.G., 1989 Publ. D.A.O. vol XVII).
