We present new observations of projected rotational velocities of main sequence B stars in the galactic clusters NGC 2439, NGC 3293, NGC 3766, NGC 4755, NGC 7160 and h & χ Persei. 257 stars have been observed with three instruments, 207 of which are presented here. Projected rotational velocities have been determined by least-squares fit to synthetic spectra. Our v sin i scale is compared with that of Slettebak et al. (1975).
