The rotational properties of a large sample of noneclipsing double-lined spectroscopic binaries are discussed in terms of synchronization of axial and orbital rotation. The data covered the spectral types OB and A04, i.e., those with full radiative envelopes. Nearly 80 systems were investigated, and the periods and orbital velocities are provided. A high correlation was found between the fractional radius and the occurrence of synchronicity and pseudosynchronicity. Deviations from synchronous rotation were most apparent at fractional radii of 0.05 and below. Current theories of the synchronization time scales are noted to be inadequate for describing the small fractional radii-lack of synchronism observed.
