Description
Radial velocities are presented for 430 stars in the U direction (l=0,b=0), 445 stars in the V direction (l=90,b=0) and 420 stars in the W direction (b=90). The stars were chosen from the SAO catalog to be within about 10deg of the respective cardinal directions, to be brighter than m(pg) about 10.5mag, and between spectral classes A5 and K0. Except for the K0 stars, almost all are dwarfs. They were chosen to present a kinematically unbiased selection, as the intent was to understand the percentage of stars in each kinematic component of the galaxy.
