Abstract
Spectroscopic results are presented on the internal dynamics of five radio galaxies. These data, taken together with those of Jenkins & Scheuer, suggest that there is no tendency for absorption-line rotation axes to align with radio structure. However, radio ellipticals seem to be dynamically peculiar compared to ordinary ellipticals, in that they often show rotation about the minor axis and so are not oblate spheroids.Keywords
