Preliminary radial velocity orbits are presented for three binary systems containing Wolf-Rayet stars, namely Sk-71° 34 in the LMC, and WR8 and WR98 in our galaxy. Sk-71° 34 is found to be a WN3 + O6 double-lined binary with an elliptic orbit of period about 34 days. WR8 and WR98 both have WN type spectra with carbon lines. In WR8 the N and C lines appear to move in antiphase, while in WR98 all emission lines have the same orbital motion.
