From 52 spectroscopic observations on 31 nights with approximately 2 A resolution, radial-velocity measures in the 'stationary' line spectrum of SS 433 reveal a 13.1 day periodic variation, of amplitude K = 73 km/s. The effect is seen in the strongest emission peak of H alpha and H beta, and probably in the He I emission and absorption lines, and an absorption line of Fe II at 5169 A. From observations of stars in the nearby H II region S74, a lower limit of 2.3 kpc is estimated for the distance to SS 433.
