Strong metallic emission lines have been observed in the spectra of the RV Tauri stars U Mon and AC Her near recent light minima. While these two variables differ in a number of significant respects, the metallic emission spectra are quite similar, resembling the emission that was previously reported as present in the spectrum of R Sct at a deep minimum. The data appear to support Baird's shock-wave model for the spectral behavior of RV Tauri stars.
