Abstract:
   Radial-velocity observations of 35 red giants in the field of the 
   intermediate-age open clusters NGC 3680 and IC 4651 are presented and 
   analysed for membership and duplicity. Five stars in NGC 3680 and one in 
   IC 4651 were identified as non-members, and six and five spectroscopic 
   binaries, respectively, were discovered among the red giant members in the 
   two clusters. Orbits have been determined for seven of the binaries, four 
   of which are still preliminary. The mean cluster velocities of NGC 3680 
   and IC 4651 are 0.9+/-0.2km/s and -31.0+/-0.2km/s respectively. The 
   morphology of the red giant region in the colour magnitude diagrams shows 
   a well-populated clump in both clusters. In both clusters, one certain 
   member star is clearly brighter and redder than the clump, while IC 4651 
   shows, in addition, a probable concentration of stars on the ascending 
   giant branch.
