64 Ori is a close triple system consisting of three B stars which has recently been resolved by speckle interferometry. High-dispersion spectroscopic observations show that the probable visual primary is a double-lined spectroscopic binary with a period of 14.57221 days, which orbits a broad-lined (v sin i = 163 km s-1) third star with a period of 13.03 yr. From a consideration of magnitude differences and line-strength ratios the authors classify the components as B7 III, B8 III, and B5 V for the short-period primary, Aa, short-period secondary, Ab, and visual secondary, B, respectively. Components Aa and Ab both have v sin i ≤ 5 km s-1. Since it is shown that both are intrinsically slow rotators with no Hg-Mn abundance peculiarities, any mechanism which attempts to explain the presence of such peculiarities in late B stars must also explain their absence in these two stars.
