Scientific paper

Two globular cluster X-ray sources are known to display orbital
variability. We report the detection of periodic variability in the
X-ray light curve of a third case, 4U 1746-371 in NGC 6441, using data
from the Ginga satellite. If orbital, this periodicity confirms that the
source is a typical low-mass X-ray binary.
