The highly collimated bipolar flow from the T Tauri star AS 353A was studied using high-resolution echelle spectroscopy, medium-resolution long-slit spectroscopy, and emission-line CCD imagery. A linear H-alpha emission jet was found in the redshifted side of the flow between AS 353A and HH 32A. The spectra of HH 32A, B, C, and D all show very broad linewidths, and in many cases prominent double-peaked profiles. The high-velocity emission occurs 1.5 arcsec closer to the star than the low-velocity emission for HH 32C, and a similar displacement of 0.2-0.4 arcsec is found for HH 32A. For each HH object the number density appears to be nearly the same as a function of radial velocity, implying that the two velocity components do not arise from different sides of a single shock. The forbidden O III 5007 A line profile of HH 32A differs markedly from the lower-excitation lines in HH 32A, and exhibits only a single broad peak whose width equals that seen in the lower-excitation lines.
