The evolution of a single helium star of 2.5 M_sun; (Z = 0.03) is calculated from the helium zero age main sequence up to off-centre neon ignition. A mass-exchange phase to a 17 M_sun; hydrogen star companion and the subsequent evolution up to neon ignition of the 2.2 M_sun; mass-exchange remnant are calculated. The single and binary helium stars are both expected to terminate life as a neutron star. The orbital dimensions of the binary system after a symmetric SN explosion of the helium star are calculated. These dimensions appear to resemble those of low-orbital-eccentricity B-emission (Be)/X-ray binaries.
