1 Introduction

This work continues the publications of spectroscopic orbits for the components of late-type multiple stars observed with CORAVEL-type radial velocity spectrometer. In our first paper (Tokovinin 1997a - hereafter Paper I) the motivation for this observing program and the methods of data analysis are described. The next 6 orbits were published in (Tokovinin 1998a). Here we present another 8 orbits, following the same strategy which need not be repeated. The results of this study will be incorporated in the current version of Multiple Star Catalogue (Tokovinin 1997b).

A correlation Radial Velocity Meter (RVM) (Tokovinin 1987) was used for the measurements. Most of observations which form the basis of this work were made in 1995-1998 with the 70-cm telescope located on the Moscow University campus and with the 1-m telescope of the Simeis Observatory in Crimea. Velocity zero point was determined by observations of several IAU velocity standards each night. The precision of our velocities ranges from 0.3 km s-1 for bright stars to 1.4 km s-1 for faint objects or for low-contrast dips. Some observations were also made by the author in 1994 with the CORAVEL spectrometer (Baranne et al. 1979) at the Haute Provence Observatory.
