We use observations and modelling of geodetic precession in the PSR B1913+16 system to obtain direct constraints on direction and magnitude of kicks imparted to the pulsar companion during the most recent supernova explosion. We find that the kick must have been directed almost perpendicular to the rotation axis of the progenitor star.
