Image Isocon observations of the H-alpha profile of Beta Lyr indicate that: (1) the emission strength undergoes phase-correlated variations; (2) the nature of the correlation between emission strength and emission width in the hemisphere preceding the B8 star is different from that in the hemisphere following it; and (3) the orbital V/R variations in 1974-75 are different from those in 1971. A model of the system containing an accretion disk, a hot region between the two stars, a gas stream flowing from the B8 star to the unseen companion in the hemisphere following the unseen companion, and a rotating shell-velocity-ellipse qualitatively explains the observations.
