We demonstrate optimal curve-fitting procedures to the parametrization of a selection of 25 visual-binar y-star orbits from F. W. Dyson's1 catalogue. We compare our findings with other published results, which reveal uncertainties, real and formal, affecting the parameters. The extent of data coverage for any one system can have a substantial impact on the modelled results, with various orbital solutions sometimes possible for a single system.
