             TIMES OF MINIMA OF NINE ECLIPSING BINARIES



 We report times of minima of eclipsing binaries derived from photometric observations
made with the 0.4 m reflector at Droke Observatory near Fayetteville, Arkansas, and
with the 0.6 m Lowell Telescope at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory in Chile.
Both photometers used pulse-counting techniques and the observations were corrected
for system deadtime and atmospheric extinction. Heliocentric times of minimum were
estimated by bisecting chords drawn across the minima. Uncertainties were estimated
from differences in the timings in the two filters used - V and R at Droke Observatory
and B and V at CTIO - and also differences between independent estimates of the times
of each eclipse. Primary eclipses are designated as type 1 eclipses, secondary eclipses as
type 2.

Observatory observations.
