Using objective-prism spectra obtained with a radial-velocity astrograph, a large number of radial velocities of 13 of the brightest members in NGC 6475 have been determined. Three of five previously suspected short-period spectroscopic binaries could not be confirmed. However, two of these three stars seem to be long-period spectroscopic binaries. The remaining two suspected binaries could be confirmed, and elements have been derived. It is concluded that the frequency of short-period spectroscopic binaries in NGC 6475 is considerably smaller than supposed earlier. Finally, general properties of the technique employed for the determination of relative radial velocities are discussed.
