A survey of proper-motion stars. VI - Orbits for 40 spectroscopic binaries Orbital solutions are reported for 40 binaries in the Carney and Latham(1987) survey of proper-motion stars. The earlier orbital solutions forHD 85091, BD + 13 3683 deg, and HD 195987 are confirmed, and that for BD-3 2525 deg is revised. The number of orbital solutions for metal-poorbinaries has been increased from five to 19, six of which have doublelines. For periods longer than 20 days, the distribution of orbitaleccentricity for the metal-poor binaries is similar to that for themetal-rich binaries. For the metal-poor binaries, it is found that allthe short-period orbits are circular, with a transition to eccentricorbits at a period somewhere between 13 and 18 days. Presumably, theclose binaries with short periods were formed with eccentric orbitswhich were subsequently circularized by tidal mechanisms.
