Radial velocities of both components of Zeta Aurigae have been measured on 39 grating spectra obtained in the interval February 1970 - November 1981. The evaluation of the orbital elements of the primary component confirmed the elements observed so far. The masses of the components were found to be MKsin3i = 6.4±1.7 and MBsin3i = 4.5±0.9 solar masses. With the elements obtained a radial velocity curve of the B-star has been calculated. Comparison of the radial velocities derived from the hydrogen lines of the B-star with the calculated radial velocity curve shows systematic deviations which indicate that these lines originate partly in an expanding circumstellar envelope of the system.
