The Fourier techniques used by Faulkner (1977) in an analysis of photoelectric observations of U TrA, are applied to another well-observed beat Cepheid, TU Cas. It is found that there is a strong interaction between the primary and secondary pulsations. There is also a small-amplitude tertiary pulsation. The tertiary period suggests identification with the second-overtone radial mode. When the fundamental and second-overtone periods are used, the resulting beat mass agrees with the pulsation mass. The implications of this result are discussed.
