Cepheid variables in binaries are important from various points of view. These objects can in some cases provide direct information about the physical parameters of the system, can be used as tracers of stellar evolution, and the effect of the companions may influence the form of various relations (e.g. P-L-C, P-R) derived for Cepheids. While the first two advantages mentioned concern individual stars, the third involves the question of the frequency of binaries among the Cepheids. Systematic searches for binaries containing this kind of variable resulted in increasingly higher frequency of incidence: 2% (Abt 1959), 15% (Lloyd Evans 1968), >20% (Madore 1977), 25% (Pel 1978), 20%-40% (DeYoreo & Karp 1979), 35% (Madore & Fernie 1980). It was only in the early eighties that this trend ceased. The recent determinations of the incidence of binaries among the Cepheids are: 20%-40% (Gieren 1982), 18% (lower limit, Lloyd Evans 1982), 25% (Russo 1982), 25%-35% (Burki 1984). At the same time we have been going over to a qualitative era from the quantitative one, i.e. very thorough studies are now available on some individual cases of binary Cepheids (e.g. McNamara & Feltz 1981; Coulson 1983; Evans 1983; Bohm-Vitense et al. 1984).
