The starburst galaxy Tol 1924-416 was observed on May 18, 1985 using an echelle spectrograph coupled with a cooled CCD camera (CASPEC) mounted at the Cassegrain focus of the ESO 3.6-m telescope. The echellogram covers the 4320-5260 A spectral range with 0.33 A/pixel and a spatial extent of 12 arcsec at 1.5 arcsec seeing. The estimated spectral resolution is 25 kms−1 and the velocity calibration error is as small as 3 km s−1.
