Description and Technical Details . In 1980s two medium-size horizontal solar telescopes 50/35000 cm with large spectrographs Czerny-Turner made by Carl Zeiss Jena were installed in the Ondњejov observatory. The Czerny-Turner-spectrographs in the Ondњejov observatory called HSFA1 and HSFA2 according to the German name Horizontal-Sonnen-Forschungs-Anlage ("horizontal device for solar research") have been explored for more than two decades. ...

... The binary nature was remarked by Deutsch, approximate orbital elements were at first derived in Potsdam. Recently, 53 Cam was directly resolved by speckle-interferometric measurements of McAlister et al. and Balega. Combining with the spectroscopic elements the determination of the absolute values of the system parameters should be possible. In the present paper a revision of the spectroscopic orbital elements and a comparison of spectroscopic and speckle data have been carried out. ...
