Being one of the brightest lines in emission in the optical region of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, the λ4686 line of He II has attracted the attention of many investigators (Sahade, 1958; Ganesh and Bappu, 1967). Here, the binaries with subgroup WN components have been chosen, with periods ranging from 1.64d to 21.63d, for understanding the effect of the companion on the formation of this line.
