Projected rotational velocities for 67 B, A, and early-F stars have been determined. Some of these stars are early-type, radial-velocity standard candidates. The spectra of seven stars show metallic lines with composite profiles that consist of a narrow component near the center of a broad component, suggesting that they may be shell stars or binaries.
