Optical pulsation data on the HZ Her/Her X-1 system obtained with the Lick (61-cm), Crossley (91-cm), and Shane (3.1-m) telescopes since 1974 are combined with published optical and X-ray observations and analyzed. The results are presented in tables, graphs, and diagrams. It is shown that the features of the optical pulsation velocities not explained by the occasional (every 0.81 days for 4 h or more) and predictable influence of the mass-transfer-stream X-ray shadow and the disk-rim structure on the lobe of HZ Her can be described by a single-valued function of the 1.7-day run-centroid orbital phase. The mass of Her X-1 is found to have an upper limit of 1.4 solar mass, and assumptions of its prograde spin, and of aligned corotation and Roche-lobe filling for HZ Her, are verified.
