HR 8157 = ADS 14859 = HD 203156 = V1334 Cyg was recognized a hundred years ago to be a marginally resolved visual binary. Millis (1969, Lowell Obs Bull, 7, 113) discovered that the brightest star in the system is a low amplitude classical Cepheid with a pulsation period of 3.3 days. Early radial velocity observations by Abt and Levy (1970, PASP, 82, 334) differed from scattered radial velocity observations in the first half of the century implying that in addition to the long period system, the Cepheid is also a member of a short period binary. We have observed Cepheid V1334 Cyg A for nearly 30 years. From this radial velocity data we have derived an orbit with a period of 5 years. The orbit provides limits on the mass of the companion (V1334 Cyg C) of 3.1 to 4.4 solar masses. We have used an IUE high resolution spectrum to conclude that the hottest star in the system (V1334 Cyg B) which dominates the spectrum in the ultraviolet is the wide companion since the velocity is very near the systemic velocity. Financial support was supplied through a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, Canada (NSERC) grant and HST Grant GO-07478.01-96A, and from the Chandra Science Center NASA Contract NAS8-39073.
