The radial velocity curve of FG Sge is established with 80 radial velocities measured from 1977 to 1979 using the spectrophotometer CORAVEL. The mean period is 120 plus or minus 10 days, the mean amplitude and velocity being solar radii, 3.0 plus or minus 0.2 km/s and 37.5 plus or minus 0.1 km/s. The comparison with the simultaneous photometric variations shows that the luminosity variation happens nearly in phase with the radius variation. Using Wesselink's method, the value of the radius is estimated to about 140 solar radii, which leads to a pulsation mass of about 1 solar mass and a distance of about 2.5 Kpc. The mean broadening of the lines, deduced from the width of the correlation dip of FG Sge, would require a low rotation velocity.
