We have obtained high resolution orbital data with the CHARA Array for the bright star 12 Persei, a resolved double-lined spectroscopic binary, an example of a Separated Fringe Packet Binary. We describe the data reduction process involved. By using a technique we have developed of 'side-lobe verniering', we can obtain an improved precision in separation of up to 25 micro-arcsec along a given baseline. For this object we find a semi-major axis 0.3 of Barlow, Scarfe, and Fekel (1998) [BSF], but with an increased inclination angle. The revised masses are therefore almost 6% greater than those of BSF. The overall accuracy in the masses is about 1.3%, now primarily limited by the spectroscopically determined radial velocities. The precision of the masses due to the interferometrically derived "visual" orbit alone is only about 0.2%. We expect that improved RVs and improved absolute calibration can bring down the mass errors to below 1%.
