The spin velocities of 20 primaries and 5 secondaries in 20 binary systems were measured with the Condé Reticon on the McDonald 2.1 m telescope. 14 of the primaries and all 5 of the secondaries measured show synchronous rotation. The star, 62 Per, previously thought to have V sin i = 0,, turned out to have V sin i = 200 km/s. Results for other stars are in basic agreement with previous measurements (0 Per has not been measured before). For TX UMa, the NaI D-line was found to be stronger in the secondary than in the primary, from which fact a mass-ratio of 0.32 was deduced.
