The observations made of the secondary component B of the close visual binary mu Ori are described. The Reticon observations made at red wavelengths showed the secondary to be a double-lined spectroscopic binary with a period of 4.78 days and nearly identical components having minimum masses of 1.1 solar mass each. Previous estimates are corroborated by the large spectroscopic mass ratio of B to A and B. The discovery that B is a pair of late-F dwarfs solves the apparent mass-luminosity relation discrepancy noted in previous studies.
